Cymbal pad upgrade

Cymbal pad upgrade

2004-01-03 by Nick Carroll

I speak as an owner of the DTXpressI. (Does anybody else on this 
bulletin board still use the original DTXpress?)

I recently discovered that upgrading the two-zone cymbal PCY 80S 
(which came with my kit) to a PCY 65S has solved my misfiring 
problems.  What an improvement!  My rim would often sound when I was 
playing the bow, but I get a consistent ride sound now.  Hooray!

I had bought the PCY 65S to replace the crash pad, so I could get a 
second ride cymbal with a crash on the rim. But its better handling 
convinced me to move it to my first ride position.

Since I'm so behind the times, I reckon in 10 years time, when I can 
afford to upgrade the kit, I'll be raving about how good the 
DTXpressIII is!
