Thanks for the nice welcoming.
Can't wait to get started with the drumming, am going to pick up the set tomorrow.
Thanks for the answers so far, sounds like the base drum should work fine.
I have yet another question, The description in the ebay auction said it was a DTXpress II, but the more I compare the images from the auction to images in the net, the more it looks like a DTXpress I.
Could someone verify this? Do the images show a DTXpress I or a DTXpress II (I am from Germany, so keep in mind possible differences in color or whatever between the US and Europe versions? )
I would just like to know before I pay for a DTXpress II and get a I :-/
Thanks again,
Mr. Pink
