Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Hi, guys. I definitely want to stay a semi-active
member of the DTXpress Yahoo group.
Your help, and the help of others, via the site has
been invaluable in my getting full use of my DTXpress
kit.  (I don't know what I would have done without you
guys!)
By semi-active I mean that I log in perhaps twice or
three times a week and check out the messages and
responses. I'm particularly interested in problems
that relatively new owners, such as myself, come up
against.  And I always chip in when I have something
to ask or contribute.
Where it comes to archives, yes I do consult them when
I need to refer back to something. (But I wish there
was some kind of index to the topics covered - going
back through each and every message is extremely time
consuming!)
I am not aware of "files" or "links" on the site, so
I'd be happy to know more about them.
But yes, I occasionally check out the photo section to
see how other drummers arrange their kits and add-ons.

Finally, I really do appreciate the effort you have
put to finding a solution to the spam/advertising
issue. Long live the group!

Hello from the Yahoo DTXpress Electronic Drums Group:

If you would still like to be a member of the DTXpress
Electronic 
Drum Group, please hit "Reply."

If you might like to add information about your level
of interest, 
please read the fine print.

As you may or may not have noticed, the group recently
acquired three 
new moderators after a long period without anyone to
police or 
maintain the various resources associated with the
site.  As a 
result, we are now able to keep the engine running
smoothly without 
any, or much, intrusion from such extraneous
distractions as spam and 
advertising. We have yet to decide the final method of
securing 
emails and web postings from these undesirable
influences, but we are 
looking forward to finishing this business so that we
can concentrate 
exclusively on our common interests.

One important piece of information that has been
sorely lacking is 
the number of listed members, among the current 730 or
so, who still 
maintain interest in the group's messages and
archives, even though 
they may not participate anymore, or never have
participated at all 
(the group's silent majority). This information might
help us in our 
future endeavors (such as relations with Yamaha or
other companies 
with which we might establish a connection to our
mutual benefit) and 
in our attempt to ensure that individuals can get as
much benefit 
from their membership as possible.  

Would those of you who would classify yourselves as
part of the 
silent majority (you know who you are, even if we
don't) kindly reply 
to this email with some statement of how you use your
membership: How 
often do you read the group emails?  Do you consult
the archives, 
files, links, and photo sections to get answers to
questions about 
your e-drums?  Collectively, you could play a large
role in how we 
ultimately structure this group and how we envision
its future.  You 
represent our strength in numbers.

Thanks,
Rob, Vern, and Ed
