When the rest of the guys are still tooling around in the dressing room or checking their email, what’s the acoustic drummer (or his tech) doing? Yup, setting up. When the bass player’s gone “thunk” a couple of times, the guitarist’s crashed a couple of power chords, and the keyboard player’s ripped a few licks on his piano, what are YOU doing? Yup, that’s right. Crack, crack, crack, crack, crack…

Let’s not even get into the possibility of questionable house sound engineers in smaller clubs who might not even know how to kill that ring on the snare! The DTXPRESS III is going to make everyone’s life on the road a lot easier..

Even if you’re not an experienced sound engineer, you’ll quickly figure out that too much sound coming off stage renders you and your little mixing board completely useless. And who generally gets the blame for rising sound levels? Yes, you. And they’re probably right. It goes with the territory

But with the DTXPRESS III under your sticks, they’re going to have to look elsewhere. Sure you may play harder as the entire room becomes one giant mosh pit, but you ain’t actually getting any louder.

And the other numbers to think about are size and weight. The DTXPRESS III weighs but a fraction of an acoustic kit. The individual TP65 tom pads measure a reasonable 8.5 ” in diameter.
