DTXpress III SP vs. DTXtreme II

2005-04-03 by joethoden

Hello everyone,
I have been reading the posts from this group along with the user's 
group connected with the DTXtreme & would like your thoughts.  My 
situation - I've been playing acoustic drums since around 1968 or so.  
I've played in many different bands throughout the years, played live  
& on several albums & CD's enjoying every minute of it.  I have been 
content for the last 7-8 years playing with some very good players in a 
church each week playing contemporary Christian music.  Several months 
ago I was asked to play in a band backing up a Christian artist who 
just released her 3rd CD & tours on weekends here in the Midwest.  I 
have decided to go electronic & was looking at several different sets.  
I have narrowed my choices down to these two sets from Yamaha.  What I 
am looking for is input from users of either one of these two sets 
regarding the sound & versatility of each set, likes & dislikes etc.  I 
will be purchasing one or the other in the next month or so, 
unfortunately I like in a rural area & it is approx. 60 miles to the 
nearest music store that would have each of these on hand.  I would 
like to have a lot of research out of the way before talking shop with 
a dealer.  Any input is appreciated.  Thanks,  Joe
