Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Probably it only touches a side aspect but nevertheless: Before I
bought my DTXPIII I was a DTXtremeI user and I remember my problem
with loudness on the standard heads that go with the original setup.
So I went to a local dealer and asked for meshheads and he strongly
recommended not to go for any other than T-Drum heads which actually
are the ones that are distributed by Ddrum in Europe (I therefore
assume that they are mounted on Ddrum shells).

Although I realise that your hardware (shells, pads) isn´t Ddrum or
DTXtreme, still it is about Ddrum triggers. How do you view the
influence a certain meshhead brand could have? - If you are interested
to have a look at T-Drums´ website the link is www.triggerhead.com.
