$400 is not too bad if all works- check drumbalaya's
(www.drumbalaya.com) bargain bin for the price of old controllers- the
seem to be around $300 or so so the whole outfit for $400 is pretty
good. The base pad is infamous for giving folks fits and pads do fail
after some time. I keep a DTX1 at the place where I practice with
friends and it still works.
