Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

I am a drummer FIRST and foremost! Started in drum corps at 10... My 
injury was from a trip to Japan last year. Too much up and down stairs 
carrying equipment and BAD BAD shoes aggrivated a severe injury from 
when I was a teen... and now I have to deal with it nearly everyday... 
oddly enough, it doesn't seem to bother me when playing! At its worst. I 
gotta stop walking and rest every fifty or so steps! At 35 I'm turning 
into an old man... no offence to any old men out there!  =)

Surge protection is right... I set some stuff up in a "temporary" 
environment that lasted three years.. never got around to it... Lost a 
computer, scanner, printer, a TV monitor, a modem, all the phones, 
answering macine, a network card and a lighting controller. Now I have 
surge protection up the wazoo and UPS systems on the main editing 
systems. Now we moved, and I'm back at a temporary set-up until I can 
get the studio built in the new place.

Velocity modulation is the most basic thing I do for change... I also 
use a feature of one of my keyboard's,  polyphonic key pressure 
modulation, and of course the pitch and mod wheels. Use of mod 
techniques lends an undulating living feeling to sound.. if that's what 
your're after.
