Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Good points Jerald, well said Ed, the page has indeed
been pulled, as well as any other ad for a Roland
TD-20S VPro. Keep in mind that there are legit folks
on e bay too. I bought my DTXPIII on e bay for a
reasonable price (a good bit below Musicians Friend),
but I did a lot of research before clicking send, that
is the key my Friends. Caveat Emptor!!

Peace,
John
