I wholeheartedly recommend Drumbalaya. This is because they have encouraged me with expensive cars, free drum lessons, and dates with MTV video dancers. Well- they did send me friendly emails. I would be surprised if you can find a better price or better service. Plus you get to support a small business that has been very encouraging to this community. As I mentioned in an earlier email- look for the little pig icon next to the kit on their page. You have to jump thropugh a hoop or two to get their unadvertised best price- but I found it well worth my while especially considering that I was able to avoid sales tax and shipping charges. www.drumbalaya.comWhere did you get your DTXpress III Special? I was looking into buying it on Musician's Friend, but they told me it only comes with the hi-hat stand (I even called them to confirm it). I read the Yamaha website, and THEY say it should come with all three (hi-hat stand, pedal, throne). Sounds like Musician's Friend is trying to rip me off. I might have to take my business elsewhere... --- In DTXpress@yahoogroups.com, Creighton Higgins wrote:Hello Ryan I have it. It does come with a serviceable bass pedal, a hi hat stand and a throne. Sticks and a lesson book would have made it a turn-key kit. I am REALLY happy with the new cymbals and the new cymbal sounds. My only complaint is that I have to really stand on the hi hat pedal to get a fully closed sound. Well- not my only complaint: the tom mounts are hard to get tight enough and the throne seems thinly padded for my elderly rump.( I've noticed that one can spend considerable money on a throne- I'm much too Calvinist to spend money on comfort) This is a whole lot of e-drum for the money.
