Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

I just wanted to publically thank Giles Hearn for his DTXpressions 
site and the great files and information he has there.  I've had my 
DTXpress for seven months, and although I've played around with 
adjustments to settings as posted here (I am far from comfortable 
with this stuff), I had no idea how great the kit could sound until I 
downloaded kits from Giles' site.  WOW - what a difference.  And, the 
download process was simple with MIDI cables (I expected many 
problems and had none).

I play for a contemporary church on Sundays and the rather ho-hum kit 
sounds I was able to produce had me contemplating an acoustic set.  
Not now - the kits I downloaded give great sounds and renew my 
interest in tweaking the settings (now that I know how good they 
really can sound).  I may still add some real cymbals but, other than 
that, the DTXpress will do the trick.

Also, thanks to all who post here.  The tips and tricks are 
invaluable.
