Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Re the rim volumes. If a cymbal choke is enabled, yes the rim voice is fixed
full volume, but on that input only -- not the entire kit. The other rims
function normally, at least on my kit with the DTXv2 brain.

Minor point.  To my knowledge the DTxtreme is not a mesh head kit. It ships
with real heads -- something they actually brag about in the literature.
However, the last time I was in my local drum shop the manager was seen
changing the snare head to a mesh one, and cursing Yamaha for not shipping
it like that in the first place.
