Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Hi DR,

Yes, I think they will do a fine job at that, although
I would be remiss if I didn't point out that I saw
what was labeled a 'DTXpress 2002' at Musiciansfriend
for $799.  Obviously the DTXpress II has updated
featgures, but just in case money is an object to you
- I've seen used DTXpress's go for that much on Ebay. 
Either one has features to help you develop your
timing and to play along with other sources of music,
which can have a theraputic value all by itself.  

Anyway, if you never played before, you may want to
get yourself a self study CD or other interactive self
study  aid, preferrably on a media you can have close
to your kit - that works the best.  Of course, you can
play along with other music sources but you will find
the lessons to be helpful in developing your 'chops'. 
You older dogs need to worry about injuries - doing it
right will prevent flam wrist, paradiddle
palpitations, or worse yet - rectal ratamacue!  

Once you've tried one - you'll never go back!
