Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

well, i'm convinced... the dtxpressII is the right e-drum kit for me. 
so, i will be placing my order this evening. i was just wondering if 
anyone here found an abnormally great price for the dtxpressII?  i 
think the standard price is about $999.95... however, i found a 
deal at musiciansbuy.com ( 
http://www.musiciansbuy.com/yamaha_ds9xpsii_DTXPRESS.ht
m )  for the kit along with a free throne, yamaha bass pedal, apex 
full size headphones, and dtxpress instructional book and 
cd-rom... all for $999.95. that might be the way to go. has anyone 
found a better deals out there for the dtxpressII?

Drum World sells the DTXpress II at $949 but not with all those 
extras.  I don't know anything about the Apex phones, but even if 
they can't compensate for the DTXPU's traditionally low headphone 
volume, no harm done really. Hopefully, the free throne will be kind 
to you, because you're going to be spending endless hours on it.  
Another thing that you might check is shipping. A lot of places 
offer free UPS ground above $300(though not necessarily for drum 
kits). If Musiciansbuy doesn't, the price break may not look so 
good. More important, great to have you aboard.

Good choice, I have the DTX2 for about a month now and I can't get 
off it! I did some pretty extensive research before I bought it and 
nothing in that price range or even a few hundred more can compare. 
That grove check is a feature that a lot of the other e kits don't 
have, even expensive one's and that's just one feature. Also that 
sounds like a pretty good price because here in N.Y. you only get the 
kit for $999 with no extras but like they said beware of shipping 
cost's. Hey I wonder if I can get my hand's on the instruction book 
and c.d. rom somewere. I just got a manual with mine. If anyone 
know's were I can get a hold of one I'd aprreciate it.
Anyway good luck with your kit and your going to love it.
                   Mike in N.Y.

yup... i really cannot wait to get it. anyway, about the crash course 
book and cd, i think that it was mentioned earlier in a few posts 
back. try this:
http://www.russmiller.com/products2dscc.htm
on the right hand side bar it talks about the dtx edition of the 
book. as to how good it is, i will let you know when it is shipped 
to me.

thanks for everyone's help!
