Re: [DTXpress] Re: almost bought but not quite ...

firstly, thanks to everyone who has taken the time to answer a reluctant
critic like me.

Secondly, I wonder whether someone would be kind enough to do me a large
favour and record a few bars of their favourite dtxpress kit onto a wav?
A lot to ask i know, but it might convince me to drive all the way to the
store again! A wav file would be ace if its just 10 seconds or so of audio,
as i dont think mp3 does any justice to the highs and lows really. There
doesn't seem to be a great deal in the file section of the website.

I accept what people are saying about the quality of reproduction, but i
took my own beyerdynamic DT100 cans, and although I've heard much better
headphones, I should have still been okay with these IMHO.

I'm trying desparately to avoid expecting a true simulation of an analogue
kit from what is an essentially limited piece of digital eqipment, I know
that that is asking too much, but just something approaching it would be
fine. One of the advantages of my situation is that I'm not that bothered
about the real nuances of live playing and the complexities of real cymbal
waveforms etc - I just want a kik that doesn't sound like a half-baked casio
demo, snare and toms that don't sound like 80s metal or the start of
eastenders (i'm from the uk!) and cymbals with at least a vaguely usable
envelope with no phasing artefacts. What I'm trying to say is that i'm not a
purist or anything, but you've gotta draw the line somewhere! :-)

The other thing is - I still really want one!!!!!
