that's kinda cool. I have a DTXpress. It's OK, but leaves me hungry for my acoustic. Maybe I need to give electric a *better* shot.

DTXpress are the hard pads right? I have a hard pad as a hi hat cos the rebound is great on them but my pintech pads feels like the real thing. Great for toms and I can even set the sensitivity on them for dyanamics and as well as play rimshots. My only bug bear are the cymbals (chokable) but Im sure I can dick with the settings for that primo sound. DUDE go with a hybrid kit and have the best of both worlds.

they are the hard pads. I'm learning how to become a more graceful drummer, and I get a pretty good bounce out of the snare. Also, I started playing in my socks and suddenly I'm getting better response out of the hi-hat pedal too. It used to not open up for me when I released. I was really bummed about that.


My only real complaint is that there aren't enough cymbal options. It's either crash or ride, nothing in between. But maybe a hybrid kit is the way to go, and I could add a splash.

Well I hear to can split the channels to add more cymbals but I'm too much of an arce to work that out. What I have done though is gone back to a traditional jazz kit and where that tom use to be add a cymbal....all I had to do was make my own custom kit . Now I've got the fatest Bass drums the poppiest snare and I can pick a couple of cymbal sounds close to my liking. My module is th TD6 by the way, what's yours?

Hmm, not sure actually, I'll have to check.


but the splitting channels... I don't see how that would work. seems like you'd have two pads giving you the same sound.

Yes, you can split the channels. Many of your pads, such as your toms, rely on a mono signal but all of your inputs are stereo. So, you are currently only using the L channel on most of your inputs. You just have to use a stereo splitter adapter and hook up another cymbal/pad and assign the sound to the right channel.

interesting. I just learned how to record what I'm playing tonight, so baby steps....

I actually work for a cable company though so I'm sure I can get the connectivity if I can just figure out the brain.
