It did take me a while to get the sound I wanted. Hell, I'm still tweaking around looking to get it better.
The difficulty I was having is that the kit sounds quite a bit different through the phones than it does through the PA. The cool part is that after I set the sound to sound good on one of our systems, it sounds great on all of them... and it is a thunderous kit.
I was using the muted Yamaha kit. I don't know if DM10X Mesh came with a preset for it, but it was fun setting up my own. My singer/sound guy/band leader wanted less muffle. He liked the subtle ring that the Yamaha Pinstripe toms offer... so I'm using that. I also have a version of that same kit (hard rock) but using Gretsch toms instead of the Yamaha pinstripes. I love it but the toms are tuned much higher, and they kinda lose their driving force sound if I detune them using pitch down.
So now I'm working out how I want to expand my kit. With those new Surge Mesh and Command Mesh kits having all 8" mesh pads... they seem like the perfect addition to my kit for what I want to do. If I go that route, I'd likely have to start with the module that comes with the kit and put two or three higher tuned (like those Gretsch toms, for example) over my hi hat, use the other mesh pads for other sounds, like timpani, conga, explosions, whatever, for various needs... and then drop the cymbals all over the darned place. Some as cymbals, others as vibraslap, etc., whatever I need.
Then, as a later upgrade, I'd like to add a Sample Pad Pro.
I'm not in a hurry on any of these upgrades because the kit as it is now is a solid live rock kit. I just love it. But I want to revisit my younger years where I always wanted a Monster kit. It was fun back in the day, but when I started playing a million gigs for only $100/gig, it really got to be too much to lug around. There was a short time when I had roadies - one of which wanted to be my drum guy. He had me teach him every consideration about how I set up and take down my kit - and he'd do that for me each show. That was a game-changer!
With my new e-kit, I really wouldn't mind expanding. Tempting to score that Nitro of yours!
