Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Thanks again, Sam. I don't know why I didn't think of Drumbalaya for 
the heads. It is usually my first option (my correspondence with Ed 
Morin is always signed "Ed from Massachusetts" so that he doesn't 
get us mixed up). In the shameless-plug-without-ulterior-motive 
category, I recommend Ed and Charlotte at Drumbalaya to all new 
readers of these posts for a full range of products--new and used. 
You can actually talk to them!
