Thats
exactly how it works but you might find you ens up getting a Better pair of
headphones if the ones you have do not have a good enough dynamic range. dont
forget the sounds that come out of the module are Raw drum sound not like the
sounds that are in a track on a CD as they have been mixed and mastered in a
studio to make them sound decent on most music systems.
I
waited 15 years for mine and believe me it like being 18 again , I love
it.

Subject: [DTXpress] Re: bass pedals and input leads ...
he'll do me a good deal anyway on whatever I choose and he has loads
of different ones in stock - just liked the look of the Tama - seems
fairly "sturdy".
I might try the Zildjian's - I have my old ticks, but they are like
two brush handles ..LOL
Been waiting 24 years for tomorrow ... :o)
Roll on the weekend ...
One last comment - regarding using headphones - the plan was to input
the music either from a CD player / Amp I have in the loft - or a
Discman - and then use my normal Pioneer Stereo headphones ( large
ones ) assuming I will be able to hear the mixture of drum sounds
from the kit combined with the music I am feeding in - don't tell me
it doesn't work that way ??? quick before I blow £750
Cheers
Andy
