Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

I own a DTXpress I kit and have added a bell pad to my ride cybal 
pad but notice, like others on this board, that you can't ride it 
fast. It's just doesn't bounce too well. Can a II or III owner 
please tell me what it's like riding the bell part of those new 3-
zone cymbals? Does it respond to fast playing?

Hello-
I would check your self-rejection settings then the spec rejection 
settings- I have no trouble playing as fast as I play on the bell of 
the  new pcy150 which is admittedly not all that fast.
Creighton

Nick,

I actually just went through the exercise considering to buy a bell
pad on top of the PCY-65S or to go for the new PCY-150S. I finally
decided to purchase the latter. Why?
- As the cup part of the PCY-150S is made out of relatively thick and
solid rubber and because the normal Yamaha bell pad is mounted on top
of the cymbal holder (leaving some room for the bell to swing) the 150
bounces better
- Running a DTXP-III module you can take advantage of all the 3-zone
capabilities including the choking effect (input 6 - "ride")
- Buying the PCY-150S obviously leaves you with a spare PCY-65S which
I decided to use instead a TP-65 as the hi-hat. I like the
"hi-hat" to swing a bit rather than sitting with a stiff pad to my
left

At the end of the day - being honest with myself - I also think the
PCY-150S simply looks cooler ...

Best regards     -Bongo-
