Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Thanks Ed for your reply.

I'm alway's the last to know! "LOL"

Yes, I've been seeing the kits at Musician's Friend.com (No more)& 
at Drum World.com (I think still selling).

So I guess the gum rubber pads will only be avaialable for the DTX-
press II kit's.

I have the original DTX-press kit. Have added some double trigger 
drum & symbal pads to upgrade my kit.

I was thinking about buying a DTXtreme module to upgrade the sounds 
and sample rate for my kit as the DTXpress is only 16 bit. I thought 
I heard that the DTXtreme was 24 bit sample rate.

I'm wondering about the sample rate of the newest top of the line 
brain?

I'm thinking I don't need to upgrade my drum pads because I only use 
my drums for Cubase recordings & like I've said, pads have been 
added. But I think it's time to get better quality drum samples at 
higher sample rates for my set up.

Thanks again, Steve
