Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Hi Ed,

Thank you for the detailed info, that was pretty much what I wanted to 
hear, this is great :)

I see as always, price is not necessarily an indicator of quality 
(regarding sound-module). I haven't decided finally yet (swinging btw 
DTXpress SP & DTXtreme), yet I understand, I can plug in, say, a Roland 
mesh-snare or some percussion pads, etc.; I'm looking forward to see the 
results of drumsonly and you.

Well now, I better ask the questions about latency after I buy the kit ;)

Many thanks,
C\ufffdneyt
