I figured if you're smart enough to own a DTXpress kit, then well... ;)
I'm a big fan of Firebird. It's what I'm typing from right now. :)

If I forgot/lost my glasses I'd be non-functional. I'm rather near
sighted. Anything within 14-20" of my nose is perfectly clear, farther
away is mush. I can't just pop into a store to get glasses, I have to
carry a spare set in the car "just in case". I guess you're lucky if you
can operate w/o glasses to do things like play drums. If I get
"energetic" my glasses can slide down my nose. grrr.

One of the only pictures I have of myself on stage at one of the biggest
shows I played, has me with my glasses perched precariously on the tip of
my nose. I'm a slave to my glasses. And before u ask, yes I did contacts
(too much cost/hassle/health issues) and I'm not about to let some
"Doctor"  (what do u call the guy who graduates last in his class from
medical school? Doctor!) with a razor sharp scalpel near my eyes, thank
you!

To quote a very famous song writer:

"What a drag it is, getting old."
