Fellas,

I think OGD's idea is excellent. (God only knows how long Stephen was 
waiting for a chance to unleash that title.) If we want to 
concentrate on the DTXpress, at least in the beginning, we can 
approach the file as a supplement to the manual; we can even break it 
down according to Set Up, Play, Voice, Trigger, Utility, MIDI, etc. 
Where the manual ends--the points that tend to generate newbie 
confusion--under these titles, we can begin to build our own 
material. Otherwise it might be hard to run through the alphabet 
trying to think of e-drum words that begin with "a," "b," etc. Does 
anyone familiar with the manual's soft spots think that this approach 
might work? All interested parties could make suggestions (and write 
copy, if possible). There are no limits to what we can do. As I've 
said before, I'd also like to include other equipment that might 
interest people, connecting it with whatever reviews we might 
generate, as a kind of appendix. 

How long do we want to be composing this primer? We could add to it 
continuously, but it might be good to have a core file that people 
could access pretty quickly. Unfortunately, that means someone is 
going to be busy.
