Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Hi Gang

One reason for purchasing the dtxpress was its potential for 
portability (i.e. easier to move around than an acoustic kit).  My 
initial thought is to move all pads etc. in the vertical position, 
turn the bottom legs inwards so everything is vertically flat. 

If any of you are transporting the kit around a fair amount, I'd 
appreciate any do's/dont's on transporting.  

Thanks

When you're moving the kit from one place to another
those flimsy plactic clamps that hold the fromt
crossbar strip very easily.  I suggest getting
gibraltar rack clamps and using those to hold the
crossbar on.  they're much more reliable and you will
immediatly notice how much more stable the whole rack
becomes.  When I move the kit to a gig.  The first
thing I do is disconnect the dtxpress unit and put it
in an old brief case which I padded.  Then I remove
the front crossbar.  I lay the sides of the rack flat
in my trunk with the pads still attached and sticking
up I put the cross bar on top of that and theres still
enough room for the bag with the unit and pedals.  My
car is pretty small too, so this should work for just
about anyone.  The only real don't I can say is about
those cheap plactice rack clamps.  Don't crank them
too tight.  They strip easily.
