Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Hello,

It has been a long time that I have not posted a message; however, I 
am a regular reader of all posts.  I am still a beginner in drumming 
(1 year) Even though I know that the newer version of DTXpress is 
released, I am not a hi-tech follower anyhow.

I am looking at the Pintech CK-V Kick Drum Trigger, is this 
compatiable with DTXpress?  If it does, how hard to tweak it to 
perform well with the set? I need some advice.  Thanks.

Jeffrey:

I have the Pintech CK-V. You'll find it very compatible with the 
DTXpress and very easy to set up. You'll also find it a joy to play.
By the looks of the recent catalog photos, it seems that Pintech has 
developed a new stabilzer from the version I have (early 2003 model).
Extra stabilty would be my only suggestion for the CK-V.
Once you get it, give me a shout and I'll let you know what settings 
I'm using.

Jeffrey,

I fully agree with Stephen...the CK-V is totally compatable with the 
DTXP, super easy to tweak to your preference and gives you a lot more 
real estate to work with for double pedals than the stock Yamaha. 
Although the version I have is probably the same as Stephen's...two 
large BD like spurs to stabilize the back (newer ones have a solid 
backplate) it's still a stable set-up even if your a 
pounder....BTW...I got mine at a great price as an "non factory 
sealed" purchase from American Musical Supply...shop around...you'll 
find one on ebay etc if you don't want to go retail...
