Rob,

Thank you for your kind words about this site. Nothing makes the 
management any happier than satisfied customers. This place is really 
only as informative and friendly as the people who use it. Actually, 
we are one of a number of drum/e-drum boards, and enough of us belong 
to multiple sites that we might even call the collection a loose 
network. On Yahoo, some of the standouts are Drumzillaslair, which is 
dedicated primarily to acoustic drums, drumming, and related issues; 
DTX and DTXtreme, which deal (at this point) with past Yamaha kits 
and modules; Electronicdrums, which is a nondenominational site; and 
Pintech. Some private sites of interest are vdrums.com, the 
unofficial home of Roland e-drummers but a deep source of general 
information; ddrums.com, which is dedicated to Clavia's ddrum 
products; and edrumming.com, the newest of the lot, which has a 
number of resources at its disposal and plays all the fields. 

Our site--the hallmarks of which are not only its special connection 
with Yamaha and its broad range of experience but also its general 
tone--has a reputation for avoiding the flaming, backbiting, and 
intolerance with newbies that sometimes infects other boards. We're 
hoping that as we rapidly approach 1,000 members, and new products 
begin to enter the mix in 2004, we can establish this group even 
further with manufacturers, retailers, and rank-and-file e-drummers. 
The moderators and some core members have plans that may be of 
interests in the not too distant future. Thanks for the opportunity 
to thank our members and give an update.
