Re: What's up with Yamaha's electric drums being discontinued?

2003-04-19 by liberatusvirus

Steve,

The midlevel DTX gum rubber kit and its DTX2U module have been 
discontinued for some time now. The top of the line DTXtreme kit and 
module (DTXTU)breathed its last at the beginning of the year. Stores 
like MF, Riks Music, etc., were advertising closeouts on it until 
pretty recently with heavy discounts, but supplies have dwindled. 
Yamaha apparently would have issued new product to replace it 
already, but they ran into a licensing problem with the new module. 
Expect something to emerge late this summer.
