Acid Rain on the new kit
I don't know how Mike Portnoy can play that drum solo (at 2:37) so cleanly and accurately. It always sounds like mush when I try to play it.

The future direction of DTXMania
According to the DTXMania blog, the author is aiming to do the following (translated from Japanese):
* I want to use it for a more real basic practice.
* I want to improve the degree of freedom of the performance more.
* I want to ease the management of the tune more.
* I want to return feedback to the data author more.
* I want to appeal for the player more.
* I want to support IR more.
I think Internet Ranking would be an awesome feature. It would definitely attract a lot of people to the game. This was exactly what happened to DMGF when e-amusement appeared around 9th mix. Let's hope we won't have to wait too long.

Frequently Asked Questions
Please read the documentation in the DTXMania English resource center first.
I will try and update this FAQ periodically. If you have a question which isn't answered, please feel free to post a comment:
Where do I unzip the GDA or DTX simfiles?
Create a folder called "DTXFiles".
How do I change the song difficulty?
Press the Hi hat twice.
How do I change the scroll speed?
Press the bass pedal twice. Whilst playing, you can use the up and down arrows to change the scroll speed also.
The charts are off-sync in the game:
In DTXMania versions 064 and above, press the delete key whilst playing a song to show the DTX details, then press Shift+Up or Shift+Down to adjust the chart sync. The game will remember your adjustment for the song the next time you play it.
How do I make subfolders to organize my DTX files?
Name your folder DTXFiles.Yourfoldername and DTXMania will recognize it as a sub-folder. Alternatively, use box.def.

Quick Start guide to setting up DTXMania
Connect your PC to your electronic drumset
1) You will need a MIDI to USB converter such as the Yamaha UX16.
2) Install the latest drivers for the converter (especially if you are running Windows Vista)
3) Plug the MIDI-In cable in your converter to the MIDI-Out hole in your drum module. Hook up the other end to the USB slot of your computer.
Connect your PC to a Guitarfreaks or Guitar Hero controller
1) You will need a converter depending on the type of controller. e.g. A PS2 GH controller will need a PS2 to USB converter.
2) Hook up your guitar to the converter, and check to see if it works under Control Panel > Game controllers.
Install DTXMania
1) Download DTXMania from the official site. Version 067b is the latest recommended stable version.
2) Download some simfiles and unzip them inside your DTXMania directory.
3) Load up DTXMania and see if your drums work.
Set your Drum and Guitar Key config in DTXMania
1) Most likely you will need to remap your drum and guitar keys first.
