Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

I can confirm that the Hart crashes work great with my DTXTREME module.
Better than I expected, in fact. I do have the Hart Ride and Hi-Hat
working OK as well. I know I promised to post my settings for the HH
and Ride, but things have been crazy busy around here and I haven't had
much time to mess with the e-drums lately... :-(

I don't have a DTXPRESS module, but I don't see any reason the Hart
crashes wouldn't work well with that module.
