Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

I don't remember with whom I spoke - I should have written it down! 
He did tell me that it was due in by the end of the month or soon 
after. They have the rack in stock, the module is due around the end 
of the month, and the pads are coming in around October 4. I've 
worked in a call center before, and I know they try to pad those 
dates, but I wouldn't bank on it. So I expect to get it by Oct. 11 at 
the very latest. I've had great luck with them in the past, but I'm 
keeping my eye on this order!
