Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

hey guys,
        although i have been away from the group more lately than in 
the past because i have really dove into alot of gigging,and 
recording sessions within the past few months.. i just want to give 
a shout out to all who really stepped up and got involved in taking 
some much needed changes for the better to this group that has 
offered me as well as obviously so many others a direct porthole to 
alot of the fellow e-drummers,and e-drummerets in the yahoo world. 
where else can you get some great ideas,hands on user reviews from 
actual users themselves, the (saved myself migranes bookooo times) 
problem solver posts that people share with others freely ,trial and 
errors,and i could just go on,and on(the past posts are just amazing 
with all kind of topics are posted,and covered by users on here ). 
but it's just really a great thing to see people have enough 
compassion for this group as well as for the other members that 
share this group and all that it has to offer , to really stick to 
their guns and fight for the right of all of the members of this 
group as well as their own to save something that will continue to 
benefit anyone who takes the journey into the dtxpress world is just 
overwhelmingly noble to me .. this is truly a great thing to see,and 
just shows me yet another of the many reasons i have missed the time 
that i have spent here in the earlier months of this year as well 
the last 2 years ..i have learned so much off of this group,and some 
of the things have really opened my eyes to how fortunate each and 
every member is to have such a great place that we can all call 
home,and be able to hook up with some great people, 

just wanted to show my appreciation and thank this group for having 
some very exceptional members who care for others rights as well as 
their own.... we need more people like this in the world 

rock on'
