Try piedog.com, andertonsonline.co.uk, starland.co.uk, scheerers.com,
giggear.co.uk, soundattak.co.uk, 4-drums.co.uk, hwaudio.co.uk,
footesmusic.com.  All £800 or less, cheapest first.  Also,
www.netzmarkt.de/thomann which are probably the cheapest, but German,
and shop.drummusic.com which were cheap (and non-UK) but now want £870
for the DTXpress 3 claiming £1338 list price, which is rubbish, but
strangely with the DTXpress 3 special at £953!
