Daniel,
My
name is Mike and I just bough a DTXpress II about 2 weeks ago. So far I can say
the following....
1. The
sounds are just awesome.
2.
custom sets are very easy to make..made several custom sounding sets for
Tower of Power...old stuff and new stuff.
3.
When I get going I too "bounce my right foot on the bass. I am on a small rug
and it does not move at all as well as the hi hat.
4. The
base pad setup on the II is very heavy and not fragile at all (to
me).
5. I
used to take and give lessons on a remo pad set....so I'm used to the small area
to hit, but big difference in feel.
6.
Price....got mine new on e-bay for under $900 in the factory box.
The
one problem I can see in the future limited expansion of more pads and
cymbals...think with the right stuff 2 more can be
added.
Good
luck and happy drum' in

Subject: [DTXpress] Comparison: electronic vs. acoustic kit (need some dtx user feedback)
I'm seriously thinking in buying a dtx-express drumkit soon.
I played and tested one in a shop recently, and it looks excellent.
I also tested a roland kit,and i think the dtx gives a better feel.
(in my opinion)
Can anyone give tips about the durability of the dtx, i'm a teacher
so i was thinking in using this for permament lessons and practice.
Is it a good and reliable drumkit in the long run? I mean it can
sound good the first year, but does anyone here have it more than 5
years, and how does it work? Do the pads still have the same
feel,etc..or any problems with the sound module!
Also i want to comment on the bassdrum pedal of all these electronic
kits, i think the basspedal is a bit fragile and moves around a lot
(unless i put a really thick carpet,or try to adjust it not to move).
Anyone having a solution for this, im one of those drummers that
lifts the whole leg and my pedal gets a big amount of pressure.
The acoustic kits can stand this because of the weight of the
bassdrum.
Ok,Nice hearing reply from you all.
