Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

My wife wants to learn to play drums, and I am considering the 
DS9XPSII.  With the arguments of acoustic vs. digital aside, is this 
a good kit?  I searched the group's archive using
"DS9XPSII" and 
nothing came up.  Is this kit just too new?  I looked on the Yamaha 
web site and they don't even have it listed there.

Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated.

You didn't find anything in your search because DS9XPSII is Yamaha's
part number, not the common name that the kit is known by.  Do a
search on DTXpressII or just DTXpress and there will be more than you
can read in a day.

For the money, it's a great kit. If you want to spend twice or three
times as much, there are better kits out there, but certainly not at
that price point.
