Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

hey ed,

i couldn't help noticing that u said the ddrum4 has dropped in price, 
whats the cheapest you've been able to find it (new)? you're right 
about it being replaced, the ddrum5 is apparently in the making and 
will most probably include many modifications (for instance USB 
connectivity, more inputs, stereo & dual inputs, more onboard memory 
and perhaps some more features) however ddrums simplicity is what 
makes the ddrum4 a great plus for me. I'm one of those people who 
just wants to play and not fiddle around with endless menu options.

cheers pete
