Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Mark-
Back on 9/28 you posted saying you ordered two LMAC-1 Composite Arm 
Clamps.  Did you receive them yet and do they fit the dtxpress?

���� 1�� 444883�������������� Pintech Dingbat Tubular Pad����������������� 34.99��� 34.99
���� 2�� 444906�������������� Pintech Composite Rack T- Clamp��������� 9.99���� 19.98
���� 2�� 444910�������������� Pintech Leg Brace For Pintech Rack������ 11.99��� 23.98

Here's my report thus far...
The Dingbat is way lower sensitivity than the Yamaha pads, so even with the gain cranked it's not ideal. Any thoughts to make this more compatible?? I'll use it as a "inc. kit/dec. kit" trigger plugged into 9
( if this is news to you... go to http://www.gihe.demon.co.uk/DTXpressions ...see the "tips and tricks" section )
Input 10 has my own home built pad for a second crash/splash/china depending on the kit.

The Composite rack T clamps are at my buddy's place because they were back-ordered for a few weeks. (I'm in Canada, so I have this stuff shipped to a friend that lives a few hours away in the US.) I'm sure they will fit because the two diagonal leg braces were just the trick. I installed them this past weekend and they made a noticeable difference to the rigidity of the whole rack.� No more bouncing snare and floor tom.

I just picked up my Pintech composite clamps...they fit great. In fact, 
they are virtually identicle to the Yamaha clamps except they use a 
3/16" allen key instead of the large plastic knob for tightening. I 
don't mind , as this is less bulky and less likely to run up against 
other "knobs"...   and way cheaper: $9 ea.
