Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Hey Stephen & Ed,

   Just e-mail me at home (technodrumguy@...)
and we can run a few details about the product
review.......I'm totally happy to work with you on it.
The computers at work have been a little weird this
past week (server crash!).
I'll talk to you soon.
