Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Sundays are usually slow on this board, so I'm willing to risk 
repeating myself; it's for a good cause. As it is, I've set up a bi-
weekly message reminding members about the original Edrummers' Wish 
List post now located in the Files section and one that greets each 
new member. But I want to stress its importance again. It is not just 
an idle exercise. I have an invitation from Pintech to collect 
responsible suggestions for new products or to add flesh to others 
already in consideration. It doesn't matter if you aren't using 
Pintech products now. We're all here ostensibly under the Yamaha 
banner, but if you have needs that Yamaha isn't meeting so far as 
components, electronics, hardware, etc. are concerned, let me or the 
board know under this subject heading. I, for one, don't want to 
waste this opportunity. 

I know that this board has intelligent (well, for drummers, anyway) 
motivated members, many of whom have made legitimate informal 
suggestions in the past. Kin_doc had the initiative to produce a text 
editor that many of you wanted and will happily begin using. The rest 
of us can make active statements, too; we don't have to be passive 
recipients of what other people kindly offer. I wouldn't shoot my 
mouth off if I didn't have good reason to do so. Longwinded as I can 
be, it's not in my nature to push something that doesn't seem 
worthwhile. Don't find yourself in the same old position of 
saying, "I wish they'd have included a food processor with that 
module. Don't they realize that musicians need to eat?" At least give 
yourself the satisfaction of having tried.
