Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Hi Guys good to see this message board is really busy again. I need 
a question answered. As I do not own a Yamaha kit can somebody 
please tell me would a PCY60 Cymbal work as a Hihat pad. What i Mean 
is it capable and strong enough to stand the pace. I have just won 
one of Ebay and was going to use it as a ride or a splash but I 
would like to use it as a hhat if iam able to clamp it down tight on 
the straight cymbal arms I have.

Hope this is  easy to answer.

Yes. Both OGD and I use a PCY65S as a hi-hat pad and like it a lot. 
Much better shaped area for a hat.

I would have been concerned if you'd said a PCY80S, as I don't think 
the rim switch in the 80S is up to it - I have broken two in a year 
(though I did buy them well-used on eBay). However the 60 is mono so 
you should be fine.

Only issue you may have is rotation if you didn't get an L-rod with 
your cymbal. But as it's a hat, you can clamp it fairly tight.

I'll second (third?) that.  Using a cymbal pad for the hi-hat has 
vastly improved my playing thereof on the DTXpress.  I seem to be 
able to play in a more relaxed manner than on the TP65 which I now 
use as a fourth tom.

1/4" mono jack is all that is needed.
