Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

This set rocks!! I waited about 6 mos. since  i first saw these 
things, sold my accoustic kit to aquire the set. with the right p.a. 
set up. and a couple of extra cymbals added to the kit (i used 2 
pintech 14" crash ecymbals), this kit has served it purpose and then 
some . compact and yet so versitile ... it has allowed me to play 
venues where drummers never could , either cus' space was too smal... 
or drums were concidered too loud... now either apply! 
I've used it live and it sounded great .. although a few times i did 
notice the crash cymbal stop short , which i believe was caused by 
the bass players bass amp creating vibrations on my drum riser, after 
removal of the amp off of my riser ... problem solved. I was 
wondering if there is a list somewhere of all the sounds in the 
dtxpress module? The kit itself feels and plays wonderful, but having 
a list would be much more convinient than scrolling through the 
options, with those tiny buttons.  Any help would be cool.
:P

Hi Jaymz,

I guess you don't have a manual, since it contains a complete list of 
sounds and factory kits. I think we have a link to the Yamaha site 
where you can download it. As for the case of the choking cymbal, 
it's good to hear that you seem to have solved it--at least for now--
but if the cymbal is one of the affortable Pintech TC series, it may 
happen again. Vibrations from extraneous sources are more likely to 
cause e-drums/cymbals to trigger than to choke; the TCs have been 
known to choke themselves. It's a good idea to keep the bass player 
and his amp away from your riser. By the way, welcome.

(You know, I replied to this yesterday ... it's not the first time 
Yahoo has given me the "message has been posted" and then eaten the 
message).

Another possibility is the brain running out of voices. If I'm 
wailing on the snare with cymbal crashes, the cymbals choke off too 
soon because the brain runs out of voices.

Jaymz,

Check the cable. If the problem turns out to be the cymbal for sure, 
you could check the internal connections and/or try re-soldering. But 
Yamaha has been pretty good about replacing new faulty components.
