About to buy a DTXpress kit

2003-07-18 by cantorit

Hello,

I have been offered a one year old Yamaha DTXpress kit for 460 USD. I 
would be happy to read some reviews and comments on this kit and the 
price.

Never thought I'd come to this point. I have been playing drums since 
1983 and have never even considered going electronic. I play mostly 
progressive rock of the late 70's and early 80's style, so an 
acoustic drum sound is the only option. I have a good sounding 
acoustic drumset but living in a flat makes playing impossible. My 
ultimate dream would be to sample the acoustic set and play the 
electronic set with the acoustic set sounds. Is this possible with 
the DTXpress? I have a PC with good sound cards and MIDI inputs that 
could be used trough MIDI but the process to do this is unknown to 
me. E.g. the concept of triggering is beyond my experience.

Any advice would be welcome.

br, Timo
