Setting Up
Some Advice on Connections
• Trigger Input Jacks from 1 KICK to 8 HI HAT are stereo
input type jacks.
Pads equipped with trigger switches like the TP65S,
PCY65S, PCY130S, etc. can be connected to these jacks.
• 3-zone pads like the TP65S, PCY150S, etc. can be con-
nected to Trigger Input Jacks 2 SNARE, 6 RIDE, and 7
CRASH1.
• The DTXPRESS III’s input jack parameters are preset with
settings suitable for pads that correspond to the input’s la-
bel (KICK, SNARE, etc.). If any other type of pad is go-
ing to be connected to an input jack, that jack’s parameters
(sensitivity, etc.) should be changed to settings that suit
the pad.
• Sensitivity is set in the Trigger Setup Edit mode’s [1-1.
Pad Type] (Reference Guide : P. 12).
• The input sensitivity switches (INPUT ATTENUATION)
are sensitivity switches that correspond to Trigger Input
Jacks 1 KICK-6 RIDE.
The switch’s L position corresponds to a low sensitivity
for pads like TP, KP, PCY, BP, etc. The H position corre-
sponds to a high sensitivity proper for use with the DT20
Drum Trigger, etc.
• The HH series Hi-Hat Controller can be used as a kick
pedal (assign settings in section [1-1. Pad Type] (Refer-
ence Guide : P. 12)).
• In addition to the 1 KICK jack, the 9 CRASH2/10 jack
can be used to connect a second bass drum pedal to create
a double-bass drum set.
• The 9 CRASH2/10 jacks correspond to a 2-trigger input
that uses a stereo jack for L (9) and R (10).
You can use an conversion cable plug (stereo plug m mon-
aural plug x2) to input two separate trigger signals.
When a stereo cable is used to connect the KP65 Kick
Pad, you can use the KP65’s Input Jack as the input for the
DTXPRESS III’s Trigger Input Jack 10 (assign settings in
section [2-3. Input Exchange] (Reference Guide : P. 15).

Removing the Drum Triggers
When changing the batterhead, carefully remove the drum trigger sen-
sors with a knife, etc. before loosening the head.
 * Be careful not to pull the cord when removing the trigger.
Setting Up

Attach the Drum Trigger
Use the following procedure to attach the drum trigger sensors to your
acoustic drums.
• Attach to the Bass Drum
Mount the drum trigger sensor on the
batterhead of the bass drum close to the
edge of the rim.
 * Make sure the sensor does not come in
contact with the rim.
• Attach to the Snare Drum
Mount the drum trigger sensor on the
batterhead of the snare drum close to the
edge of the rim across player.
* Make sure the sensor does not come in
contact with the rim.
• Attach to the Toms
Mount the drum trigger sensor on the shell
close to the edge of the rim.
 * Make sure the sensor does not come in
contact with the rim.
 * Place the trigger in a position where other
instruments (drum or percussion) will not
influence it.
With the optional Yamaha DT20, etc. Drum Triggers attached to a set of acoustic drums, it is possible to connect
acoustic drums to the DTXPRESS III.

 A setup example using both acoustic drums and drum pads.
Referring to the illustration shown below, connect the output cable from each pad and drum trigger to each Trigger Input Jack located on the rear
panel of the DTXPRESS III.
* When using the drum triggers, appoint suitable settings in the Trigger Setup Edit mode’s [1-1. Pad Type]. (Reference Guide : P. 12)
Setting up with Acoustic Drums
Taking Care of the Drum Triggers
• Make sure the surface of the batterhead or shell where
the trigger is to be mounted is free from dirt and grime.
Clean the surface with alcohol, etc. before attaching.
• To prevent broken trigger cords caused by the vibration
of the drum rim, secure the sensors and cords in place
with tape.
• Irregular vibration and sustained resonance on the
batterhead or shell may cause double-triggering. This
can be prevented by applying a mute to the batterhead
and controlling excessive vibration. We recommend the
use of the Yamaha Ring Mute.
• Once you have removed drum triggers and want to mount
them again, be sure completely remove the old tape and
apply new tape. Using used tape may cause problems
such as poor sensitivity, double-triggering, etc.
