Thanks again Ed:)

I had been wondering about those flat table-top modules I've been 
seeing on ebay, many of them saying DTX Ver 2. This is good to know.

This was going to be a future question I was planning on 
asking..that is if they were better than the DTXpress modules, in 
drum samples or otherwise.
