The brain on the DTXpress 4 is much improved compared to its predecessor, and the hardware is good too.
There is no option to have mesh heads instead of rubber ones.
The DTXpress 4 represents a big step up by Yamaha. Gone are the underwhelming sounds and 'home organ' backing tracks that cropped up too often on previous DTXs - in their place is a more developed tonal palette and some quite usable loops. If mesh heads are a deal-maker you're still better off looking elsewhere, but if you're more open minded we suggest a trip to a Yammy dealer pronto.
