    Very nice. I love those old Yamaha pads with the shells. I've got to find some of them.

    Well we hear 'em in here too, because most of us don't have anything more than a video camera, but if you can get better sound - cool!

    These are the first generation DTXtreme e-kit pads (the best they made for this line, circa 2001-2003). They originally came with real drum heads...remo to be exact....I have since put mesh on them to quiet them down...although they're not really loud with real heads...they feel, IMO, better than roland pads (and I play both currently)....just feel more like real drums....not exactly but closer than roland...don't have the tennis racket effect. Oh yeah.....All the pads are dual trigger.

    OK, here is a church service song the praise band I'm in did back on Mother's day. At this time we had been performing together for approx. 3 months... Please excuse the recording...it clips in a few areas...(to do list....gotta get that board/recorder set right..lol). The song is "A new hallelujah" (by Michael W. Smith)...I changed it up a bit by adding toms/snare section. The module is of course a td10exp...the kit settings in the module I'm using are from the "Master 50" (Vex) called "Steve Gadd"...It's my fav. kit Vex makes. Hope you like.

    Here is a pic showing extra tom to the left of hihat

    Here are two links to a couple of short audio clips of some user kits I've created in the DTXtreme III module (I recently purchased for my e-kit). The first two kits (on first audio link) are from pre-kits (beech custom abs. & maple custom abs.) that were already loaded in module; however, I have edited them and changed things such as: EQ on ea. drum, master effect (master eq), gain, velocity, attack, depth, tuning, etc...
    I'm not playing anything hard here, really just wanting to hear differences in the kits (from a recording) as I just got some new headphones that are studio AKG's (flat eq) and wanted to see if they would help with editing...
    The second link is to a kit I created called MapleBirchOk...it consists of maple snare and kick and (5) birch and (1) oak toms....

    I absolutely love that kit! Best kit out there for sure! I hope to get something like that in the future, but I'll be happy with just a DTXtreme 3 sp. You know if you ever get board of that kit, you can just ship it out to me though. lol

    Thanks for the compliment!...I'm really happy with this kit!...I've played most of the top end e-kits out there...and I wouldn't trade for any of them!....BTW...if you can afford it get a IIISP...it's a really nice kit!...and very reasonable considering what caliber of kit/module/hardware you get with it!

    I can't afford it right now, but it's definitely what I'm aiming for.

    Decided to post some new pics of my e-kit, affectionately known as the Yamanator....since last post I added some extra pieces to the hex rack (to accomodate a double bass setup)..and a second kick, along with an extra tom...kit is now a 9 piece kit (actually I've got 11 drum pads now, just don't have enough inputs for all of them)....here's a few recent pics (still in the process of hooking up all the cables):
