I should add that both Roland and Yamaha will be offering new kits in 
2004. The wait for the Yamaha seems to be until March (see previous 
post to J). Right now, the DTXpress II is in short supply (though 
Drumbalaya.com might have them). You may have to work hard to find 
one (and make sure that you get the truth about back orders if a 
store claims to have it). As always, ebay is an option. If you see 
something there and have questions about it, by all means ask the 
seller, but post the questions here, too. We'll try to help, although 
caveat emptor is always the watchword on ebay.
