Got my kit on Xmas day !

Well as I mentioned a couple of weeks ago, I got my kit but wasn't allowed to set it all up till Xmas day - I have now got going with it and it is excellent. Let me just say that I am not a very good drummer at all, have only been playing for about a year on a Premier Cabria kit in my loft which I converted to house my gear (I have some guitars and Recording equipment as well). My point was going to be that I find the DTXpress easier to play than the real kit and I think the reason is that with my real kit I am always conscious of how hard I am hitting them (neighbours !) whereas with the DTXpress and headphones, I can give it some real stick. I also find the bass pedal easier to control than on my real kit, probably my poor technique on the real kit - having said that I haven't played my real kit since I got the DTXpress, so maybe I have improved - we'll see.. I also found the headphone volume to be low, so I have just connected the brain to an old Hi-Fi amp that I had and I connect the headphones to that. You need to be careful if you do that - if the volume is too high it can blow your ears off !! I havent yet done much voice editing, but I intend to do that soon. Regards Kelvin
