Re: [DTXpress] Yamaha or Roland?

2008-01-01 by opelmyster

What did you pay for it (if I may ask) The Yamaha sets are a good bang for your buck, long lasting setup and have good sound and are pretty expandable using the midi interface so if you aren't going pro then you will be happy with them. I just bought a DTXpress II for $450 (lightly used by a female drummer) with a Iron Cobra pedal and a Pork Pie throne included in great condition and I love it! I've already programmed some new samples into it and the only problem I'm having (although not a real problem) is that I want MORE PADS AND CYMBALS! LOL! But as it is expandable I will have them soon enough. You have to love the sounds you can get from electronic drums and the versatility of the sets. Have fun with your new set and play on!

Hello,
I am new here and just looking for some thoughts. I joined this group
because my intention was to buy a Yamaha set...Xplorer or Xpress. I
went to a large music store and they had only the Xplorer set up and 5
different Roland sets. Needless to say I came home with the TD6SW. Did
I make a mistake?? I played an acoustic set about 12 years ago and have
not touched drums since. This will be my first experience with
electronic drums. I will not be playing on stage, just at home with my
family. I like to play mostly rock and metal.

Thanks,
Jen
