Good grief!  I think you may be on to something here!

Bearing your comments in mind I went back to fiddling with my hi-hat 
settings and rather than comparing the sound to the acoustic 
counterparts directly, I listened to a few CDs inbetween tweaks and 
used the sound from there as a yardstick.  I'm getting happier with 
what I'm hearing I have to admit.

It's so obvious now I think about it that the DTXpress's cymbals are 
already EQed and sound how acoustics sound after being miked up and 
sent through a desk so naturally will sound odd from the drummer's 
perspective.
