It has been quit quiet around here for a while, so here's a 
suggestion for some discussion...

While sitting behind the DTXpress I can imagine (still haven't bought 
it, wish my boss could pay me the money from my summer job sooner) 
feeling a bit "naked". 'Cause lets be honest, it isn't very 
impressive to look at on a stage. It doesn't have the shiny chrome 
lugs and rims and neetly polished cymbals. It's completely black and 
grey.

Do any of you have thought on how to improve the appearance of the 
kit? For instance, could it be possible to trigger lighteffects when 
you hit a pad (I'm just pondering a bit here...) to have a nice 
audienceblinder in front of my kick trigger, strobe's on the crash 
and lasers on the toms. That would mean one hell of an impressive 
solo. I know I went a (tiny) bit overboard here, but then again... I 
have these sweet beautifull dreams about me, a dark stadium, a 
transparant kit with neon-blue ringshaped lamps inside all eight of 
the toms and two extremely bright lamps in both my bass drums and all 
lights are triggered by the sound of the drum, an audience of 40.000 
beautifull women in their bikini's, and playing a freaky doublebass 
improvisation on the solo from In-a-gadda-da-vida. :-D Yeah, I know I 
have great taste ;-D (and a wild imagination)

But seriously, if you have any cool ideas let me know. It's always 
fun to de some creative kitimprovement
