Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Scott,

What you need to try is to just play on the pads only as a trial. Don't use
the hihat or bass pedal. Then see if that causes any problems for the
neighbors. If it does then you may have to go with the full platform. If
that doesn't bother them, then you maybe able to get away with something
limited to just isolating the pedals.
