Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Depends where you live but Chappel Music at Milton Keynes always have 
a DTxpress on display in the shop entrance which every kid and his 
dog seem to sit and play continuously - they won't be cheapest 'cos 
they're Yamaha owned but I was really impressed by how the kit stood 
up to all these youngsters beating hell out of it! :)
Regards,
Will
