Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

It's all been said, but just for clarity,

Cheapest price in the UK is Drum World in wales \ufffd699 includes delivery!
Don't expect great customer service though and don't let them talk you into
buying anything except what you intended to before you rang.

Live the DTXpress is very good, the voice quality is excellent, but I would
recommend you buy your own PA and go through that, micing up tot he desk if
necessary.  Reason is you get a much more predictable sound that way, if you
go straight from the DTXpress to the desk you will get a different sound gig
to gig because of the different audio systems used in each venue.

As for the click track, I'm afraid the DTXpress only has one sound bus, so
whatever comes out the headphones also goes to the front of house.  If you
want to work to a click, then you will have to splice it into the line
between your headphones and the DTXpress, not hard to do with suitable leads
and jack adapters.  If you want a headphone output live I would recommend
you take one from your own backline (PA).  The DTXpress headphone output is
adequate in a live gig, but you hear as much coming back from front of house
as you do through the headset (remember volume output is volume output, for
headphones as well as front of house!)

Hi all,

I'm really excited that I've decided to make the change from the old
Pearl to a Yamaha DTXpress.

I'm new to the electronic kit side of drumming, but have been playing
an acoustic kit for some 15 years.  I've read a lot about the
DTXpress, but have a couple of questions for any of you\ufffd

. I've had a couple of quotes, but what price should I be paying in
the UK now?
. What are they like for gigging?
. I'll need to MIDI up a click from my keyboardists equipment, can
this be done?
. Does anyone know where the best place in the North West of the UK
to go for one?

I'll be checking in to this site regularly, as its EXCELLENT, so any
info would be much appreciated.

Cheers
Simon
