Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Perhaps you should buy the Yamaha, sell it for a profit, and buy the Roland
since you seem to prefer it all around. Either that or apply for a job at
Roland :)

1 - My DTX/DS 10 combo picks up ghost strokes (to my satisfaction anyway).
Did you try adjusting the pad sensitivity?

2 - What do you mean by slow and delayed?

3 - No idea. Maybe you should ask Roland.

Philosophically, if you don't like the way the Yammy feels now, I doubt
you'll like it later. So maybe it's not such a deal for you after all.
