Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

With pleasure. Here we go:

1- For Pad Type, nothing will help at all. It's not a problem of louder or 
not. If I chose any pad other than DT (Kick, snare ...etc) or SHP, one beat 
would give many undesirable beats. But If I chose SHP, the things would 
become better (but not that much). While the DT Pad Type is the best option 
but still you will miss some beats. In fact, after investigating all around 
the beat (Trigger, Brain, Head), I got a result that it's mostly not because 
of the Brain, nor the Trigger. Mostly because of the head, but why?  Because 
when I hit the head in one location with same stick using the same kind of 
velocity, it may miss the beat sometimes, when I play fast on a location 
opposite to the trigger side, it hardly misses beats, while if I played with 
the same speed either in the central or the trigger side area, it mostly 
bypasses some beats (if it's in the central area, it will bypass a lot of 
the beats).

I read about Pintech/Hartdynamics mesh heads, but some people said it's 
better foot the mesh head to be 1-ply, while others said that 2-ply has a 
better response. Since live in Dubai, I don't have any of those products in 
hand. I got all of my equipments from US, and now I failed to get the 
DTXtremeIIS from there (My brother left US).

Would this help you guys?
