Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Ed,
Very interesting, indeed, on the new Yamaha module.  I
hope everything is fine with your family...I know the
perils of waiting for medical test results.  I will
keep y'all in my prayers....they WORK!!
Sorry to hear about your rack situation.  I will be
waiting to hear Walt's critique on the Visulite HHs.
Let me know when you finish your rack.  WHY would
Pearl make a square tubed rack??  I had an acoustic
Pearl kit, and LOVED it!
Jade
