Of course. I didn't say live performers were
the 'only' market. My point is, if they want to sell enough kits to keep
making improvements, while at the same time maintaining a price point, then they
can't afford to miss a market opportunity.
If they focus solely on the home user, who never
take the kit to the end of its envelope, they will never improve and will
eventually be pushed out of any opportunity to penetrate the semi-pro/pro market
by companies who recognize and at least make some options available to that
market.
As I said, nothing wrong with maintaining a certain
level for the home user, but make premium options available for those who
need/want them.

That might be "a" market, but I don't know if its "the" market. Last time
we had a "what r u using your kit for" type of discussion, there was a
surprisingly large number of users who were drummers in their "younger"
days (circa 1970's or so) looking for a quite way to get back into the
fun of drumming w/o waking the neighbors/kids/wife and found the DTXpress
a perfect solution for that.
For my purposes, the "cheap" plastic is fine since my set will more than
likely never leave my home.... :)
