Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Hmm I'm begining to think we need to rename this group "old Farts Drum
Club".. :) We could all sit around and talk about how , back in our day,
we had drums without electronic cords, programmable parameters & MIDI,
tell that to todays kids, and they just won't believe ya. ;)
