Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Hey everyone.  I am in some kind of weird slump this past year.  I am 
recovering from injuries caused by getting hit by a car, but my rut 
predates the injuries.

I started playing drums when I was about 12, but gave it up for some 
silly reasons.  I kept up my guitar playing over the years.  Last year I 
decided to try some recording with my computer.  I have a fairly decent 
home studio based on Cubase SX, an M-Audio Delta 66  sound card, a small 
Behringer mixer, some studio monitors, etc.  I bought a DTXpress II kit 
a few months ago because I got sick of keying drum parts into Cubase 
with my keyboard (midi controller).

For most of the past year I seem to get almost nothing truly musical 
accomplished.  I tinker around with my guitar, fool with my bass and 
keyboard, whack away on the drums a bit, record some little bits and 
pieces, and never really get beyond that. Perhaps I have purchased too 
much gear that is fun to play with, and have lost my focus as a result.

I think one problem may be that I don't play live with other musicians. 
 I have worked myself into a kind of mental block over this, due to lack 
of confidence.  I always end up feeling that my chops are just not good 
enough, so I stay home and practice - sort of - or maybe I just tinker 
some more, and end up back where I started.

So, although I guess nobody will have the magic answer, my question is: 
 Have any of you got into a similar rut, and broken out of it?  Any 
suggestions? Do I need a brain transplant?
