Drum World who sell by phone offer the kit at \ufffd699!!!
BUT
They have really ripped me in the past and have terrible customer service.
They are cheap, but there is a reason.

Get this:
I ordered a DTXpress brain from them, just the brain, they sent it...
without a power supply!!!!!
When I complained they wanted \ufffd50 just for the power supply, I hit the roof,
they relented and sent it through.

And again!!
I wanted some boom arms, I wanted Premier to match the others I already own,
they offered me "DW" boom arms for half the price of the premiers, wow I
thought "Drum Workshop" boom arms that cheap, well they'll be OK.  They
assured me of the quality, all was OK.   I had misunderstood, I had not
ordered "Drum Workshop" boom arms, but "Drum World" cheap-cheap and
nasty-nasty boom arms, despite me mentioning the name Drum Workshop and
questioning the quality the salesman continued  to refer to them as "DW"
booms and assured me they were every bit as good as the Premier models.  I
was livid.  A man possessed, but as it happened they turned out to be more
use than I initially imagined, converting them to e-pad mounts.  Anyway. All
five are now falling apart just one year on, my 8 year old Premier booms are
still in fantastic condition.

So, they are cheap, yes, but watch out, know what you want to order and
don't be talked into anything else.  I won't use them again, even though
they're over 10% cheaper than my local suppliers.  Hope you have better
luck.

Hi Guys,

Great to see the list growing.

New thread for you here.  Where is the cheapest DTXpress kit (new), UK or
otherwise. Second Hand prices ?

ElectroMusic in Doncaster have them at around the \ufffd800 mark, but none in
stock yet due to the fuel situation...

Keep up the good work ..
