Stephen,

Looks like a company that we might consider contacting.

Yes. I was in contact with them back in February. They make to order 
and will ship anywhere. I was following up on their special offer price 
(see <http://www.sherpa.on.to> ) of a full system including DM5 module 
of $1399.00 (which included a custom mount for the DM5 which they were 
prepared to make for me at no extra cost) plus shipping to the UK of 
$102.00. A further bonus, they accept Visa, MasterCard, American 
Express card or money transfer. Beyond what you see on their web site 
though I didn't come across anything else about them, I've never seen 
or played them, and never come across anyone who owns or plays them. 
They do look kinda cool though. And, the Sherpa hi-hat stand mounted 
pad is compatible with the DTXpress.

My contact there Ed was Philip Hamilton, Sherpa Enterprises
mailto: SHERPA <Sherpa@...>

Paul,

They seem to offer some interesting products and mounting options. 
The snare has pitch blending and rim to pad adjustments, which are 
normally found inside modules--probably because Sherpa defaults to 
Alesis, for obvious reasons. If their gum-rubber response and is as 
good and as gentle as they say it is, they are well worth serious 
consideration. Do we have any Canadian members near them. (CALLING 
ALL CANADIANS). It would be fun to get our hands on something.
