Hi John, Yeah the DTXpress is good kit for the price althought I am having DS12 kit(DTXV2.0). Many good sounds and expecially the songs are cool ones to play along. Pads feel nice and react almost like real ones but are a bit too hard. Very bad thing is the kick tower. I had two of them(KP80S) but another one went dead after two month use! I send it back but haven't got yet a new one. KP80S rubber is also very hard and it sends vibrations to your leg when hitted. The other weak link is the hihat(surprise) but you get accustomed to it. The brain(DTX2 or DTXpress) is good and there are very neat features in it. Compared to Vdrums the DTX is much more affordable. The complete DS12 set costs about $2200 (four tom pads, snare, hihat, two cymbals, kickpad, brain) and DTXpress about $1200. In the future I will be adding my edrums to my acoustic setup(also from Yamaha). There are also website(my second band) which holds mp3 sound clips of songs recorded with DTX...enjoy! www.saunalahti.fi/pikka/karhula_mafia Jarmo >From: "Wagner" <wag@...> >Reply-To: DTXpress@egroups.com >To: <DTXpress@egroups.com> >Subject: [DTXpress] >Date: Mon, 26 Jun 2000 21:27:10 -0700 > >Hey I'm really thinking of purchasing a DTXpress.. is it worth it..
