Re: [DTXpress] Re: Roland pads on DTXpress module

Tal asked:
But what about a mesh head? Pintech says they're 100% compatible.
Can anyone confirm a good mesh pad, that is mountable on the yamaha
rack, and can produce head and rim sounds with accuracy?
==> I use Pintech mesh heads on my dtxpress 1.  As long as you change
the dtx settings to the values Pintech recommends, it works fine.

I wouldn't say it mounts very well.  I had to hack that.  But with the right
hardware it should mount OK.  I'm not sure what that right hardware is
though.  I'd be interested to know what other folks are using.

I should mention that I used to use heavy sticks.  Those sticks did
cause the solder inside the Pintech to come apart twice.  So I stopped using
heavy sticks.

cheers,
Andy
