Hello, I was considering putting a kit together for my 5 year old. I was debating between a dtxpress II/III or a dtxplorer. The dtxplorer is attractive for this purpose because it seems smaller, but I think I can get more for the money with a dtxpress II off of eBay. Has anybody done this? Any suggestions are welcome (including other brands or kits). Thanks, Jaime

Hi Jaime,
Really I think the DTXpress II/III will be more evolutive instrument\u2026
My son play with the DTXpress IV see him here http://krzesaj.blogspot.com/2007/05/premire-vido-solo-denzo-sur-la-dtxpress.html
See you!

Hello,
I was considering putting a kit together for my 5 year old. I was
debating between a dtxpress II/III or a dtxplorer. The dtxplorer is
attractive for this purpose because it seems smaller, but I think I can
get more for the money with a dtxpress II off of eBay. Has anybody
done this? Any suggestions are welcome (including other brands or
kits).
Thanks,

Maybe the buttons and interface of the Xplorer are more simpel for a kid to use.

Very good point about the interface. Also a good point about the evolutiveness of the II/III. After I wrote the original post I also ran accross Roland's V-Compact Special Edition. It has a mesh snare and the cymbals (including the hi-hat) are round. I like the idea about him getting used to hitting cymbals that look like cymbals and more importantly a hi-hat that resembles a hi-hat. Does anybody have any input on that? Would like to hear if anybody has had a kid learn on an edrum with a regular pad (one that doesn't look like a cymbal) for the hi-hat and if that made it harder to learn or transition to acoustics. Also, sorry about the boldness, does anybody have an opinion about the V-compact (good or bad)? I've had a DTXpress III Special and now have a DTXtreme IIS as my set so I know that I could make a III Special do what I need, but there's an $800 difference from the V- compact. Again, any input would be much appreciated.
