Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Guys,

Even more thanks for your information, I am also seriously impressed 
by the response time and knowledge you guys display. I too am near to 
Electro in Doncaster, the quoted me £825 over the phone, I'll try and 
bat them down a little now that I know whereabouts I can get too. 
Thanks also for the advice on playing, technique and silent(ish) 
practice. Hopefully I may be soon practicing at this time of night 
instead of pissing about on the net.

Richard
