Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Well, it is a sad day for me to see oldguydrummer and liberatusvirus
leave as moderators of this group.  I have been a member for around 5
years I think, before I even started drumming, so this group is part
of my life.  However, things change and I hope I can build on their
legacy.  

I have invited Cat to join me as a moderator, partly because she
wanted to breathe new life into the DTXplorer group.  However, I think
that group will not survive and I think her effort would be more
rewarding here and so I have expanded the group description to include
the DTXplorer.

Also, while Yamaha now have the DTXpressions web site and forum I
think we still have a lot to offer here.  I notice quite a few posts
pass without a reply over there, and there are also subjects that they
will presumably be reluctant to comment on, such as putting Roland and
Pintech pads on a Yamaha module.  Also, I doubt they have pictures of
almost every component of the kit dismantled  - thanks to
Oldguydrummer for that.

I will always try to make sure all posts get answered but I have some
holes in my knowledge and rely on the group for their experiences
anyway.  I don't think there is a "typical" drummer and I don't think
I am one, so we need everyone's contributions.

With Cat joining us, this has now become a UK based group.  That was
not my intention and is just coincidnnce, and I would like at least
one moderator from the USA or South America or somewhere else, to
cover time shifts for approving posts and to provide local knowledge
of where to buy things.  So, if anyone fancies having a go, drop me an
email - I would like this group to stay global.

I also wondered if there is room for discussions related to drumming!  

Anyway, here's to looking forward, with many thanks to Ed & Rob for a
wonderful legacy.

Happy drumming all.

Keith.
