Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

cool , yeah kids can be a handful at times when you try to do 
something other than what they want...i know when my neices and 
nephews are all at my house at the same time,they all want to play my 
drumkit so i have to use the pull a number out of a hat rorutine so 
they all get a fair chance to let loose their chops,my neice is 5 
yrs. old and allready is quite the drummer(pretty cool)she prides her 
playing on her abilty to keep the timing consistant....

later,
