Sorry ED ,
I think you did not get my point !!!!! I am not bad-mouthering the
DTXPress ...... far from that ... that is why I am in the group : to
learn with everybody's opinions and discussions !!!! And so far as I
am aware of the DTXPRESS is really reliable and carries the logo
YAMAHA on that .....
What I am saying that, in the same manner I was a little bit
disapopinted with the DMPRO ( BETWEEN YOU AND ME : IT IS THE HIGH-
END MODULE FOR ALESIS!!!!!!!!!!) , buying a electroninc kit worth
around US$ 299.00 may be, I repeat MAY BE , a waste of money ...
unless as you said some kid is interested to learn etc etc ......
Maybe I was fooled by any review about the DMPRO , ut so FAR I DID
NOT HAVE NY PROBLEM ..... DON'T KNOW WHY YOU SAID QUOTE HOW MUCH
TROUBLE I COULD HAVE SAVED - I DID NOT HAVE ANY PROBLEM WITH THE
DMPRO !!!! will use the DMPRO as my second module using it for
percussion sound, FX etc .
The lnly thing I regret : I should have bought the TD-8 first.
I point out again : not bad-mouthing DTXPRESS !!!!!!! But i don't
get the benefit of getting a DRUMXTREME ..... unless teaching your
child about drums .....
Meanwhile, congratulations on the group !!! The discussions are very
good !! Very active group w/ nice feedback!
