Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Hey Stephen & Ed,

   Just e-mail me at home (technodrumguy@...)
and we can run a few details about the product
review.......I'm totally happy to work with you on it.
The computers at work have been a little weird this
past week (server crash!).
I'll talk to you soon.

Brian,

I would personally like to thank you for stepping up to plate as an 
official representative of Pintech and making yourself known to the 
members here. 

It would be wonderful if an official representative from all the e-
drum components that are discussed here would make themselves known 
here as well. Yamaha does an excellant job through the email/phone 
support, but it would be great to have them here online as well.
