George,

Seriously, we need to find an award for you and your local shop. This 
is the first sighting that I've encountered to this point. Any chance 
of asking the shop for its intentions about the SP? The plastic tom 
clamps are definitely for home use. Those who gig the DTXpress should 
go for the metal Gibralters, Pintechs, etc. If you can sit down at 
the new kit, you might be the first nonofficial member to report on 
the new cymbal sounds. Brian LaRue, who got to try them in England, 
had good things to say.
