Dave

          I`m getting my DTXpress in the next 2 days,I did try the 
old DTXpress and there is quite a lot of changes,as I have been a 
drummer for the last 26 years,its nice to see that technology is 
getting alot better + the neighbours dont complain with an 
electronic kit,I know its not an accoustic kit,but as I`m in a small 
flat and of course plenty`ol neighbours and it intergrates with my 
set up really well,I`ll let you know how I get on.
