almost bought but not quite ...

2003-02-19 by darren

hello everyone,

you may remember last week i posted with some questions regarding the
dtexpress which concerned me (thanks to everyone who replied!) which was
excellent, it answered all my technical worries enough for me to drive to
the store (60 miles) and actually try one.

... I have a problem - it sounded rubbish in  my humble opinion! sounded
like the drums on my sw1000xg soundcard, which is exactly what i'm trying to
get away from. Now there were no helpful assistants to aid me, and i didnt
have long to spend fiddling around with the buttons, but tell me people - do
you have to dig through all the parameters and stuff to get good sounds?
should i persevere? to me the presets on the td6 sounded better.

Please dont misunderstand me here, i'm not attacking the dtxpress at all, in
fact my heart was so set on it that i was thoroughly downbeat when i walked
out of the store empty handed. Am I expecting too much? has anyone heard the
ddrums?

I dont want to upset anybody man, i really really wanted one of these things
but at the end of the day i can't live with that quality of sound that i
heard in the store - whats going on?
