DTXPress LE

DTXPress LE

2002-09-17 by odkinz

I am going to be buying a DTXPress this week...I noticed at Musicians 
Friend they are offering a limited edition model with an extra floor 
tom.  Can anyone provide me any information on this item?

Thank you...
Dan

Hi Dan,

As near as I can tell from their pictures (the
descriptions don't tell much, do they!) they are
offering either the DTXpress 2002 or the DXTpress LE
for $799.  Of those two, go for the LE, but check the
specs.    It looks like it is the rack and pad set for
the DTX line combined with the DTXpress I module, but
again, all I have is pictures.  The Le appears to have
the HH80A HH tower, and if the title is to be
believed, it should have TP80S dual zone pads for the
snare, toms and maybe even the HH pad.  The rack
appears to be the second of three versions, or could
be the rack for the DTX system.

Thanks for the reply...I placed my order today.  I was able to find 
out that it comes with the RS80 Drum Rack, DTK10S Pad Set and DTXPU 
Drum Trigger.  The system is not due in until 4 October.

Dang, that is most definitely a VERY GOOD deal, a much better deal 
than the 2002 kit BY FAR!!! Now I totally wish I'd had gotten that 
instead of building up my system... Heck, I'll bet you can probably 
get that sytem, break it up, sell it on Ebay, and make a profit!

     clem..

Hopefully all goes well.  I have had some problems with Musicians 
Friend in the past.  I will just have to wait these few weeks out and 
see if they deliver on their advertisement.

Re: DTXPress LE

I too placed an order for the DXTpress LE kit from Musicians Friend. 
I called up to verify the order since the kit was on backorder. The 
rep I talked to said the kit is discontinued and they aren't getting 
any more in. After talking with him for a bit, I had him place an 
order for the pads, rack, and sound module separately (all the same 
models as the 'package deal'). For the same price. And had to haggle 
for the free shipping. Give 'em a call!

Re: DTXPress LE

2002-09-18 by odkinz

I spoke with a rep who gave me the same story about the item being 
discontinued.  After futher questioning, I was told it was a mistake 
on his side and the item was scheduled to come in.  The date did 
change however, from 30 Sep to 4 Oct.  Can you tell me whom you spoke 
with and what the expected delivery of your order is??

Thanks...

Re: DTXPress LE

I don't remember with whom I spoke - I should have written it down! 
He did tell me that it was due in by the end of the month or soon 
after. They have the rack in stock, the module is due around the end 
of the month, and the pads are coming in around October 4. I've 
worked in a call center before, and I know they try to pad those 
dates, but I wouldn't bank on it. So I expect to get it by Oct. 11 at 
the very latest. I've had great luck with them in the past, but I'm 
keeping my eye on this order!
