I agree!
The fact that Riks refuses to sell the MS50 (due to complaints), but 
continues to sell the MS100 (citing few to no complaints)may offer 
hope.....then there's always...HEADPHONES!!! That will be my choice 
99% of the time, but I'm having a reunion of my old band members, 
and I just imagine having to pass the Hphones along so they can 
relish in these great sounding drums, ONE AT A TIME, while the 
others are subjected to the "dead frisbee" melodies!
I trust your members will take these reviews as intended-food for 
thought, and that Yamaha will "listen" enough to gain insight into 
what we nutball drummers feel we need. and for that, your forum 
is ..."priceless"
