Ed, 

I have to run the convention Idea past "The Boss". I have the drums 
set-up in my unfinished basement...so plenty of room to screw around 
and just put stuff anywhere I want.

To answer your question about the setup, it went really fast. I 
didn't even look at the manual, I just pulled the rack out and 
unfolded it and slapped the pads on. The cool thing is that the 
wires are all labeled which made wiring a snap.

It will take me some time to get the settings how I want them, and 
to figure out how to get the hi hat to respond better. I know there 
is a whole new world of options that I haven't explored and look 
forward to doing.

The bummer is I got super sick on Sunday morning, I went to play 
drums at my church and when I got home I went to bed for the whole 
day feeling like I was going to puke. And on Thursday I'm headed to 
Vegas until Sunday...so that doesn't leave a lot of time to monkey 
around till next week.

I'll try to keep everyone posted about the new kit as soon as time 
allows.

Bret

P.S. Ed I ordered the Sony Headphones you recommended, and when I 
win in Vegas, I'm gonna get one of those Behringer Keyboard amps 
when I get home :^)
