Paul,
Sorry I got into this conversation a little late,
but from the two links you mentioned, I gather these are the SAME products with
different names to them?
Which is which then? Or is DrumXtreme an OEM of
Bafo Soul Drum?
Thanks
Khew

A little OT this, but there's is a curious conflict of marketing going
on with this cheapie USB electronic kit as it appears to be being
marketed by two different companies, under two different names, but
with the same publicity photos and same price! Haven't seen this kit in
the UK yet but we're so far behind in product being available
(min-EMADs, J1s, Pearl stackers, Camber stackers etc etc - I'm sure you
get the picture) that it's not at all surprising.
You can check out the two kits here:
Bafo 'Soul'
<http://www.bafo.com/bafo/productslists.asp?foproduct_id=862>
Pacific Digital 'DrumXtreme' <http://www.pacificdigital.com/>
I emailed both companies asking what was going on but surprise,
surprise got no answer. Nor did Rhythm follow up on it when I pointed
it out to them - good to know the drum press are solidly behind the
consumer isn't it! :-)
