Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

BTW, stopped at GC today hoping they'd have the III kit setup so 
I could hear it...

    It already sold.  :(

    I also stopped in at Drumbalaya on the weekend and fell in love 
with the sound of the ddrum.  Who cares about triple-zone wazoo's and 
modeled knick-knacks yada yada; the ddrum just sounds AWESOME!  It so 
blows away all the Roland modules when you A/B them right next to 
each other.  It's sad ddrum doesn't get any floor space.  Roland 
would have a hard time selling their stuff (particularly at their 
prices) if people could hop from one kit to the other and really 
listen to them back to back.

    *crossing my fingers for the new sounds of the Yamaha stuff*

    I hope that those borrowed Yamaha keyboard sounds really do the 
trick, because it will be hard for me to pass up the ddrum...

    BTW, big thumbs up to the folks at drumbalaya!  These guys know 
their stuff.  Scott was a great help and has bottomless patience.
