Hi all again!
First of all..thanks a lot..it's awesome to find such a group..I feel 
free to ask and you know what I'm talking about: you all have a 
DTXpress...
Do you all come from USA? Well,in such a critical historical period, 
with tensions between USA and Europe,I'm glad to have this connection 
with you...ok, stop politics,let's talk about music :-)
First of all..surely in Italy we don't have that wideness in choice 
you can have in the States.. I mean: we play japanese or american 
instruments,but they all come here by importation, so they are more 
expensive and only the best things reach our market- but our local 
dealer can order from USA, if we have special requests.. I'm not so 
expert, I knew Ddrums,Roland and those brands,but I never heard about 
visu-lite cymbals, except in these days, when I read *EVERYTHING* in 
the net regarding electronic drums..
The problem is that if I find something interesting in an USA 
Internet store..well,I must pay importation taxes,so the purchase is 
not worthwhile anymore :-( Anyway..can you tell me some (relatively 
cheap) cymbal model I could look for?
I would have some other questions to ask..but I dont' want to be 
heavy for this group..so if someone is available to answer me by e-
mail..well, I'm ready to ask! :-)
The first thing I'd like to talk about is the join between DTXpress 
and Alesis DM5..wow, after some pitch regulations I heard a DM5 snare 
sound which is soooo similar to my steel Rogers snare *I LOVE IT-I 
WANT IT!!*..I have a midi cable to connect both drum modules..for 
example I'd love to use DM5 snare,Dm5 snares seem better than DTX 
ones, but I prefer Yamaha's toms, bass drum and cymbals..please, 
someone can tell me *step by step* how could I do?!? (I know, I have 
a manual..but my next concert date is veeeery close, and in this 
period I've a little time to dedicate to my hobby..)
Thanks,
Gianluca
