RE: [DTXpress] About to buy; need models of DTXpress and some other answers

2003-01-16 by Creighton Higgins

If the exchange rate is the way I think it is- $500 Canadian is a good price regardless if it's a I or a II for a fresh non-abused kit. I think the crash sounds are OK with some tweaking- just not a lot of them.

Hey,

I have a pretty good offer for a DTXpress ($500 Canadian.. I'm
assuming this is worth it). The guy I'm buying it from does not seem
to know very much about electronic drums, so I've been doing a lot of
research on the DTXpress, and one thing I'm want to know is how to
recognize what model I'm getting.

The DTXpress II has a 3-zone snare pad, as well as a two-zone cymbal
pad, right? It also has an orange cross-bar that adds extra support
to the frame, right?

Is there anything else I can look out for in order to figure out if
I'm getting a DTXpress, DTXpress II, or some weird hybrid?

How long ago did the DTXpress II come out?

Also, is there anything in particular I should look into or test out
before I buy this? I'm currently in University and really don't want
to waste $500.

My main purpose in getting an electronic kit is for quiet practice. I
have several acoustic kits which I use on tour, and I have no
intentions of ever bringing this thing out on the road. (In case that
helps).

I've also gone through this message board, and there seems to be a
lot of arguing concerning the quality of the crash cymbal sounds.
Anyone want to vouch for this?
