Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Hey Ed,

I've been able to try out the Bose systems, in fact I was the first guy 
at GC to sell these systems, back in my salesman days. And, primarily 
to e-drummers.
I played several gigs running a laptop-based DJ set with tons of 
softsynths through it, and the sound was nothing short of awesome. It's 
very transparent, especially running drum modules (I ran a Roland 909 
and a TD-8 through it), the low end was crystal clear, and using 2 subs 
it was nothing short of huge. The amazing thing about it is that the 
system doesn't distort, the power is there, but it doesn't blow your 
head off.
I would say it's the dream rig for electronic drums.

Hope that helps,
Stuart McConaghy
