Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Thanks Ed

I have tried the cymbal with different settings but i didnt really 
get it like i wanted it so i returned it and will go for a pcy65 
instead and put a pcy10 on top of it... , that way i get bell sound 
close to the middle and its no problems with triggers .
Hmmm maybe i should buy a pcy65s instead and have 2 2 zone crashes 
on slot 6 and 7 (there both stereo i think) and move the pcy65 with 
a pcy10 on top to slot 9/10.
