Welcome!

So, a Yamaha Maple Custom, eh?  I've been drooling over those ever
since I saw them on the Yamaha page.  They look nice, and generally as
all Maple kits do, they sound nice too!

How is the DTXpress II treating you?

Ray:

Thank you for asking

I have been using them for 10 years and the sound is wonderful for both 
live and studio work.
I have the habit of tuning smaller drums lower, to get a wet but tight 
funk sound.

The DTXpress II, well I have been on vacation and working so much I 
barely have had time to
set the rack up the way I want it. Had to order a few extra clamps to 
add the angles I need
So far, still exciting to plug it in!

Thank you,

Don
