Thanks for the info, Stephanie. Funny you should mention deafness as 
it's something I have to live with too, although mine was brought 
about by a combination of events which probably includes playing 
drums. I've not yet got a DTX2 but am on the lookout. As I said 
above, the cymbals are lacking, but as you say, I guess it's all 
down to tweaking.
