Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

I swear they just won't stop coming out with crazy things that keep 
my savings account at an all time low, but hey, if I'm an old 
homeless geezer under a bridge someday, at least I had fun whilst I 
was young. And heck I may even be able to earn a few bucks on the 
street with my drum solo on empty drywall mud buckets and pot and pan 
lids.
