Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Thanks for the info, Sam ?). Yeah, $19.99 seems to be the going rate 
for the two plies. Six months isn't too bad at all. I believe that 
I'm starting to see serious wear in a month. 

I've been using a Roland CY-6 as a ride; I think it might be better 
suited as a crash, though I find that setting the input sensitivity 
switch on the back of the brain to the high position brings out its 
strong points either way. The Hart EII's are awfully tempting (if 
only for looks; I've never tried one), but I hear tell that they are 
backordered everywhere for at least a month. And the line keeps 
growing as we speak. It might be nice to get a report from inside 
the group. The fact that the EII16 ride is dual-zone won't sit well 
with those of us who have used up the 9/10 input already but find it 
attractive. The call of the double module setup is getting louder 
all the time.
