Gordon,

Congratulations. I assume that we'll eventually get some pictures of 
this extravaganza. I like the idea of changing the snare sound via 
the hi hat controller--a first in my experience--but don't get me 
started on the KP60. I hope that it gives you some quality time 
before you have to replace it :~) Maybe if you can't find a musical 
use for the TP60, you can set it up to increase or decrease your kit 
numbers. You are getting closer to OGD territory. It sure seems like 
a real joy ride. Keep us informed of further developments.

Later,
Ed
