Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

MF is a low overhead warehouse operation that has a reputation
of not ripping off their customers, more likely the phone support
checked the exact same web page with errors in the description.
That's exactly what I had experienced in the past when calling to
get details on various items and the person on the other end would
pull up the page I was already using to get the same bad info.

If you follow the review link lower down on the DTX3SP page, you
will see that it disagrees and states that the Standard kit has only the
HH stand but the SP has all three extra pieces.  That inconsistency
would make me want to have them check the picking list for an order
of an SP kit and see if it doesn't end up with all of the expected parts.

That said, MF says you gotta wait a month!  Our listmember wildman
at Drumbalaya seems to have 'em in stock to satisfy your craving now.
