Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Hello, I am totally new here and have one broad question. brown8700 
sent me over from the drumcenter.com forum.  I am interested in 
getting an electronic set and the dtxpress III has been highly 
recommended.  I am wondering what the differences are between the 
dtxpress II and the dtxpress III. Any other tips or advice would be 
appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Good to have you here. We have an extensive archive about the various 
iterations of the DTXpress, but the short answer is that the 
difference between the II and IIISTD is slight. The III has some 
updated cymbal voices from Yamaha's Motif synth line. Otherwise, they 
share the same basic features and upgrade path. If you're on a 
budget, and a II in good condition is available to you at the right 
price, you'd probably be doing yourself a favor. Make sure that the 
KP-65 kick isn't damaged; it is subject to wear both inside and out 
if played without some extra protection on the pad itself. If you 
have any direct questions, post them. By the way, give my regards to 
Brown8700.
