Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

I'll tell you my view on that : do you really enjoy playing drums? 
I am asking that, because I love it. Unfortunatelly not all the 
neibours enjoy that, so I had to look into electronic drumming. 
Realized that, when it comes to e-drums price is really tied up with 
quality. 
Example : after researching I decided for the Hart Dynamics Mega-
Pro - positional sensing for all pads, dual trigger and wonderful 
looking snare, ride cymbal w/bell (dual trigger), crash cymbal 
w/choke. Unfortunatelly bought a DMPRO : some good samples, 
specially effects etc but no positional sensing, not so "user-
friendly" , I would better go with the Roland TD-8 and guess why I 
did not choose that module? Price ...... at the moment I purchase 
it, about 300 hundred bucks more.... 
But now after extensive playing and really eager to model my sounds 
(Roland has the COSM!!!!! I tried it in Guitar Center Miami and 
AW !!!!! ) have the positional sensing I will have to go on that 
anyway. 
So please, if you are planning to upgrade your kit or  buy a new one 
do the right thing : satisfy your needs if you really enjoy 
drumming !!!!!!  

Tell your wife it is gonna be a unique experience in your life, you 
dont wanna get headaches and be in bad mood, that if you buy a 
inferior model it won't be something to get rid of easilly .... I 
did with mine and worked...... now I am going to buy my TD-8 and use 
the DMPRO just for special FX... 

Hope this would help
