Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Hey Steph, I'm in south texas, and I know that when I first got my e-
drums my friends, who are in a band, thought that if I played with 
them we would sound like some new wave band from the 80s, or some 
current electronic rock group such as Orgy.  This opinion of theirs 
came from a naive knowledge of electronic drums and how far they 
have come.  Once I played the electronic set for them they were way 
more impressed and were excited to hear the sounds coming from a 
p.a.  Now I have never played live with the xpress, but I do think 
its an attention grabber and will definatly surprise people who hear 
it.  It never fails to surprise those who have doubts about it.  And 
once they see all the features and stuff it has, they'll enjoy it.  
And who knows that the audience will think?  They're not all experts 
on music anyways, they just wanna be entertained and the xpress is 
quite capable of doing just that.  Play for the music.  I say try it 
and then tell us how it goes. :) I know some other members have 
played live with it recently and, even though they may not be from 
texas, maybe they can share some insight on their gigs.
