Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

I agree with you on this one. My experiments with the
groove check function left me cold. It also seemed to
"stick". I would start off a groove and get it bang on
the beat, then I'd intentionally let it slip. The
groove indicator stayed where it was! At one point I
was playing about 30bpm slower and still it said 100%
accurate. Anyway, what's the point. Every drummer
knows it's not perfect timing that's important - it's
the feel. Even Bill Bruford (who has the amazing
ability to get both right) knows this.

Expect some MP3s very soon. I've been busy recording
them and also designing a Web site for the DTXpress. I
hope to get it all on-line for this weekend. Apologies
if anyone else is doing a website - but it seemed the
next step after this mailing list. Anyway, I hope
you'll all contribute and comment. Let's make it OUR
website. (cheeeezzz)

ATTENTION Mr. Andrew Hubble 
I noticed you're a Company Director/Design Engineer
(that must mean you're a contractor, like me). I also
noticed you live in Wolverhampton. Not far from me in
Coventry. It's a small world innit? Let me know if
you're planning any gigs in the area. I'd love to come
and check out the DTXpress in a live situation. I'll
be gigging in April....
