Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Hi there
I have to admit to being a lurker :-) but at the moment I am 
relatively inexperienced - 8 months drumming and 3 months with the 
DTXpress II - so not a lot to say, but an awful lot to learn!  This 
group has been great in helping me get going.  Did my first gig at 
the weekend - small private party so no pressure.  Great fun - 
looking forward to the next one.
Keep the group going - it's much appreciated.
Paul
