Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

I'm also a DTX v2.0 user, but I subscribe to as many groups as possible
(ddrums, v-drums, dtxpress, etc.) just to get an idea of what else is out
there.

I'm using a set built around a DTX latin kit (dtx 2.0 brain, hi hat stand,
two round pads, two bar pads, one cymbal pad), with an added Kat FAT pedal
(bass drum), and homemade pads using the Roland Blue cones and Pearl Mesh
heads.

It's a killer kit, and cost me less than a grand (I already had a set of
shells/hardware lying around that I wasn't using, so I just had to buy the
latin kit ($699), the FAT pedal ($170), and the heads and cones (~60)
