Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Hi John
You're the first chap to post to the list for AGES! I
thought everyone had died!

First thing. Read thru the archives on the list.
You'll find everything you'll need to know.
If you don't have time to do that - then you might
consider this quick "summary" of the DTXpress:

Pros
Excellent value for money.
Lots of good quality sounds, able to play 2 sounds
simultaneously on each pad.
Can record your playing.
Can make your own "user kits" and email them to
friends.
Versatile hardware. Easy to transport. Looks nice.

Cons
Kick pedal can be noisy.
Pads a bit on the small side (not bad though) and
mono.
Some limitations in programmability and functionality,
but then, we're not talking V-Drums here...

All in all, I would say the DTXpress is an excellent
e-kit to start off with. Sure, there are better out
there but at this price, there is simply nothing to
touch it. Just plug it in and go.

Try and get a demo organised at your local music shop
- I sat in the shop window every day for a week during
my lunch hour before I finally put plastic to palm.

I figured we could chat "real time" about the DTXpress then people 
could get instent answers!  But don't get me wrong this egroup 
sections is the best thing I ever found.. and I plan to stay here and 
discuss this kit!

Hello all.
I have just purchased mine today after looking for a
kit for practicing at home for over 18 months. Would
love to have the td10 or td8 but price was outragous
in Australia. (td10 -$A9950), (td8 -$A5990). The
yamaha even though they dont have the mesh heads which
I think feel alot better couldn't be passed up at
$A1750. So looking forward to pluging in a CD player
and testing out my very rusty drumming skills. Its
been 12 years since I played in a Aussie pub rock
band.
