Hi Alex,

No video yet, but they're working on it. Informal reviews pepper this 
site (run a search), as well as the Yahoo DTXtreme site and Yamaha's 
own DTXperience site, which has a couple of mp3s of DTX sounds in 
action.

Personally, I like how it plays and how it works. Though my 
experience with the sounds is limited, I definitely like what I've 
heard. I can't imagine that anyone familiar with the various e-drum 
options would find much fault with them in general, though people 
will always have their preferences.

I think that the III SP is a nice kit. Roland products tend to run 
high in the cost per bang ratio, but that has not affected sales. If 
you want a mesh snare out of the box, the Roland might be your 
ticket, but if you like the Yamaha three-trigger capability and new 
hi hat on a stick, the DTXPIIISP gets the nod. Comparing other 
features by cost beyond would seem to give the edge to the Yamaha, 
though the TD-6 module is a winner (who needs COSM?). But, really, in 
the end, no one can decide for you. Keep reading the forums and get 
as much firsthand experience as you can and go for it. I'll bet that 
whichever kit you buy will show you a damn good time.
