Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

First of all, I will introduce myself. I am Richard from the 
Netherlands and during the last 2 years I'got become interested in 
drums.

To practice at home I am at the moment looking for a electronic 
drumkit. Based on price and specs and this newsgroup I've made a 
tentatively choice for the DTXpress.

Last week there was a expo in Rotterdam (Music-Expo 2000) and there 
was nobody who had any positive attitude towards the DTXpress.

The main items where;

- Cheap sounds in the kit
- Playability of the pads, especially the bass en cymbal pads.
- I would got less interested in 2 years because of the limitations 
of the system.
- It is just to cheap for a complete system

The suggested that it would be better to purchase a Alesis DM5 or D4  
(or Ddrum 4) second hand and some pads of whatever brand.

The problem is that during this expo there wasn't any DTXpress 
available to test it against ie the Alesis.

Are those people making any sense or are they just making themselves 
important and richer.

Are there members in this group who started with the DTXpress and 
after some experience are still satisfied with it? Can it be used to 
play in a band.

Are there some more experienced drummers who are looking for a new 
system (complete or just the module)?

As you can tell by all this, I have become very much in doubt and any 
suggestions are welcome.
