Yamaha DTX and Zildjian Gen16s @ NAMM 2011

Yamaha's DTX kits continue to push at the boundaries of electronic drum technology and at NAMM 2011 Russ Miller was seen with top of the range DTX950K kit flanked by the new wow-factor acoustic/electronic Zildjian Gen 16 cymbals.  

Yamaha DTX drums and Zildjian share a lot of artists in common.  Gen16 has been doing MIDI recording for their new iPAD app with people like Carter Beauford,  Kenny Aranoff and many more.  All of the recording has been done on Yamaha DTX pads.   GEN16 and Yamaha is also working on the possibility of shell packs (DTX drums without trigger cymbals) to go with the new AE cymbals that Russ Miller was playing at the NAMM show.
