Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Ok, so I had an accident with my pet DtxpressII kit, Eric.. ;)

My daughter was using the snare pad as part of some extreme ballet move 
and there was a heart-rending "crack!" sound as she swung her little 3yr 
old body from the snare arm. Upon examination, It appears the plastic 
bracket between the horizontal arm and the vertical arm is cracked. :(

So, I went looking on musiciansfriend.com and tried to find parts for 
the DTXpressII, with no luck. Any idea what the part # and/or a source 
for it might be?

:)

Vern,

Get a hold of Ed Morin and his guys at drumbalaya.com -- if they can't
find it and get it for you, likely no one can!

I just got a DTXpress III the other day (for Father's Day -- 
woohoo!!!)  I took one of my old Tama A-frame keyboard stands (circa 
1985) out from storage and the hardware fits perfectly.  Which means 
that any Ultimate Support System parts will fit, as well, since the 
Tama was made with the same 1.5" tubing that USS uses/used.

Back in the day, I had two A-frame stands joined together in an "L" by 
some of those now hard-to-find adjustable joints.  I ended up cutting 
a 6" piece of tube, cut down a single support arm to about 5" and used 
a Tama T-fitting to add a satellite speaker to the left side of the 
stand (I have my module on the right side).

If you an pick up an old USS A-frame stand in the Recycler, you can 
probably get a mess of parts to upgrade your rig with, if you don't 
mind mis-matched colors. 

Just like Tinkertoys!!!
