Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

I've got the first DTXpress model, and essentially it's not much 
different from Mk2. I use it at gigs and it folds up fairly neatly 
and fits with room to spare in my hatchback. You can always take it 
to pieces and pack it away more compactly, but it pays to color-code 
your cables to make it easier to put it together again. I usually 
wrap it in some blankets so it doesn't get knocked around in transit.
And I don't regard it as a practice toy. Because the DTXpress plays 
through a PA, you can control the sound a lot better than an acoustic 
kit, particularly in a venue with poor acoustics.
