Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

William,

There is no right answer.  I started drumming with a DTXpress, but I
also bought an acoustic kit recently.  I still practice more with the
DTXpress than the acoustic.  The main problem is acoustic kits are
LOUD.  It is also a lot easier to play along to a recording with an
electronic  kit.  Other band members appreciate the fact you can keep
the volume down when you are practicing.  You can gig with an
electronic kit - I have done and I know other people who do.

Keith.
