Yeah, it's a shame. But GC has long tentacles that can dispense a lot 
of product. In this case, however, their refusal to show the DTXpress 
IIISP, which is much more interesting than the standard version of 
the kit, should make them liable to some kind of punishment. 
Unfortunately, in the face of the Roland juggernaut, Yamaha may need 
GC more than GC needs Yamaha, if only so far as e-drums are 
concerned. The upside about complaints from people who already paid 
for the kit on the web and have to wait is that maybe the situation 
with Yamaha electronic drums will eventually change for the better. 
Cold comfort, I realize. Early adopters always seem to get screwed in 
one way or another, despite good intentions. But I put my money on 
Yamaha's management; they have always been honest and accessible.
