Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Scott (hairytrigger) has reported that ddrum triggers first worked 
for him through an Alesis module, but not so well through his 
Yamaha, though he admits that he may not have been patient enough. 
Someone else has said that the combination works okay, but setting 
up the triggers is the hard part. If you could get another company's 
trigger and try it, you'd at least be able to tell whether the ddrum 
is the root of the problem. I'll see if I can come up with any more 
ideas or information.
