Yamaha DTX series

DTX is the line of electronic MIDI drum kit and percussion sets manufactured by Yamaha Corporation. The DTX Trigger System is a custom drum module which can be used to trigger sounds with acoustic drums. A modified version of the DTX kit can be found in two drumming games: MTV Drumscape and Drummania.

gollark: Waaaait. Most proxying things won't forward ICMP because that would be stupid. So the ARM machine is actually within the Oracle Cloud network somehow or olog is deliberately being tricky with that "ping" there.
gollark: Hmmmm.
gollark: Hmm. Scaleway has cancelled their aarch64 servers.
gollark: I'm sure they won't implode much if I attain one.
