Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

yeah ,
        i've been really at a loss for time lately.. when time 
allows i have been hard at work with my acostic/e-drum 
conversion ,and getting everything right where i want it to be .. 
i'm just getting all of the final things prepped for going into the 
studio full blown next month.. i have gotten a few things done so 
far,but i really want to focus on doing the whole cd.. i will 
definately throw some sound bites up on the group,and will be 
putting mp3's up on my website when it's completed.. there's alot of 
cool things that i want to put on the cd,so alot of the time has 
been spent on arranging how to fit all of my ideas on one cd,but i 
think we got a great game plan together on it ,and it will hopefully 
be something great that i can share with others..i actually have one 
song that will be entirely done using all of the voices in the 
dtxpress (a bass line,acoustic guitar track,keys,and synth,some cool 
loops,and sound effects,and of course an #@$%load of drums) i've 
spent about 4 months writing this one so it should be a great jam 
when it's recorded.. i really do miss being on the group though,and 
all of the great people on here as well. you just can't find this 
kind of helpful info. from so many great people all under one roof 
so to speak..

newer members as well as everyone else should really feel fortunate 
that in times like there are out there today that we can all share a 
common bond,and be able to offer info.,advice,and support to all of 
our fellow e-drummer brothers and sisters on this group..this truly 
is a great e-world we live in here..
