Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

I'll preface by saying that I am a noob to edrumming...BUT I LOVE IT.
 AND THIS GROUP IS AMAZINGLY KNOWLEDGEABLE AND WILLING TO HELP.

I agree with the other posts.  You didn't make any mistake at all.  I
have an original DTXpress...and was lacking some of the pads.  I have
been replacing them with Roland mesh pads little-by-little.  They are
a little quieter (for others around you) and they are a lot easier to
find replacement parts for.  It seems that Yamaha has a better price
point, but just don't want to get into the mesh-head business.  

All that said, I really love the flexibility of the module itself.  I
have not had any problems with it, and I have also used it to connect
to my PC and run midi into Sonar (for recording).  

In the end, I think it is really a $ issue.  I am sure you will have
years of fun with your new kit.  Have a blast.
