Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

I note that the specs on the DTXpressIII includes a hi-hat pad 
incorporated into a traditional hi-hat stand.  I couldn't think of 
anything worse.  What I love about the pedals on my DTXpress is that 
I can position them anywhere I like, avoiding the 
posture/chiropractic problems I have experienced when playing an 
acoustic kit. Thus I have hi-hat and kick pedals lined up parallel 
to each other inside the kit frame, which for me feels a lot better 
than having to splay my legs.

I think I would tip over if I sat like that, or pinch something down 
there, but what do I know, I've only had my first kit for 2 weeks 
now.
