Hey Ed, Many Thanks for your feedback! It's good to know that I won't be oboleted any time soon. I heard so much about the new Roland module (I think it's the 6) being a quantum leap that I resisted my eDrum purchase for several months.

The DTXpressI module isn't worlds apart from its successors, though I don't believe that it's the best investment these days, unless funds are extremely short, and it's available for $130 or less. It may, however, be a very good second module for those attempting to expand their kits. In general, advances in e-drum electronics have not been earth-shattering. The technology is pretty standard. The Roland TD- 20, Yamaha DTXtremeIIS, and the venerable ddrum modules represent the high end, but not even they are radical departures from previous designs (arguably, the ddrum, though ten years old, is the most distinctive, but it's features are outdated by any standards). Compared to the state of the art in pure computing, or their synth cousins, drum modules might even be considered slighty backward. > Anyway, I'm just kind of getting in the mix.

How much does it cost? The hi hat on a stick that comes standard with the XIII will work with the II. Check Drumbalaya.com for the price.
