Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

I've been playing drums for 30+ and have had only three acoustic kits 
during that entire time. The first real set I had for 17 years and 
didn't change it much except for the cymbals. The second kit I had 
for 12 years and I swapped out some hardware. My current kit I've had 
for two years and haven't touched a thing.

However, I got my DTX 13 months ago today. In that time I've switched 
out all the drum pads for Pintech ConcertCast pads, I've switched out 
the cymbals for Zenbals, switched out the rack for a Gibraltar Road 
Series type rack, added a Yamaha Bar pad, a Pintech Dingbat, a second 
DTX module, a second bass pedal with a Pintech Ergokick, and a mixer.

Does it ever end?

Part of me hopes not....

Walt and Stephen,

Stephen's wife is absolutely right, but she's obviously not a 
drummer, electronic or acoustic. By the law of the drumming jungle, 
Stephen is nowhere near his quota.
