Got IT !! The Good ... The Bad ... and the ....

Got IT !! The Good ... The Bad ... and the ....

2003-02-14 by isnyne <isnyne@yahoo.com>

15 minutes after I get home the UPS man shows up, backs up to the
garage and unloads three boxes ... WOW. I haul them in the basement
and plan on putting it together Friday evening. My son nags me into
starting tonight.  
My thoughts so far ... not much packaging on the rack, if you are not
intuitive, putting this together could be a frustrating event ( the
instructions could have been better.) Where are the screws to mount
the DTXpress II to the rack? Did anyone get screws? Thats the bad. The
good ... doesn't take up much room, looks goods, sounds good,
(although I only played with it for about 20 mins after setting it
up.) Got this thing for 996.99 online, no tax, free shipping. I
ordered a single bass pedal they sent me a double at the same price.
So far so good. Looking forward to sharing my thoughts and experiences
with everyone. BTW has anyone started a FAQ?

Hi isnyne,

I think the screws are in a little plastic bag with
the mounting plate, but have also seen them in their
holes on the underside of the module.  

As far as an FAQ, this whole group is one.  You can
use the search function to look for specific topics. 
On thing you may run into is a problem between your HH
and snare, when if you play them together, you may not
bet both sounds.  This is just a bad default setting
of the rejection parameters and has been reported to
Yamaha.  There are a few posts on it, and how to fix
it.  

Of course, we're open 7x24, so feel free to ask more
questions.
Walt
