Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

My son got a new DTXpress for Christmas and he loves it.  We're still 
learning the ins and outs of tweaking the thing but we've been able 
to figure out most of it.

However, we can't get the rim (snare or ride) to work consistently.  
Sometimes we'll be able to get it to sound but a lot of times we'll 
hit it and only get the pad sound (or nothing at all).  Maybe we're 
not hitting it right.  Is there a sweet spot?  Are there adjustments 
that someone might recommend?

I'd appreciate any advice you can offer.

Hi Michael,

One thing you might play with is if you have both of
these pads on inputs 1-6, you might try to set the dip
switch on the back of the DTXpress for those pads to
the real sensitive setting.  Also, the pads themselves
have sensitivity adjustments on them - one thing you
have to watch our for though is vibrations from other
pads triggering these.  You can counteract that with 
the Rejection parameter.   Walt
