Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

There has been some discussion on here about how folks set up thier 
kits.  Well I thought I would chime in and describe my live rig.

First off, I replace my snare pad with a real snare, that has a D-
DRUM trigger on it.  The snare then has a nice live shound as well as 
whatever sample it triggers in the DTXpress.  It is important to mike 
the snare and mix it in, otherwise there is weird delay between the 
stage and the speakers which sounds like crap!

Then I remove the crash pad, and replace it with a real crash 
symbol.  Same thing, make sure it's miked.

I have found that these two things are all I really need to get a 
good live sound, though I have occasionally added a ride..
