Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Man.. I would be *really* surprised if it was a problem that comes about
with "wear". I received the kit as a xmas present from my wife about 2
yrs ago now and including the 30 minutes I played it this weekend (when I
discovered the kick volume anomaly) I be VERY surprised if I've put more
than 8-10 hours of TOTAL playing time on the entire kit (I do some times
use the module as a General MIDI device, without playing the kit).

It's embarassing to say, but I really get no time with the kit. 2 kids,
full time job + part time job(s) and having to place the kit on the
second floor of the house which precludes much late night playing...
::sigh::

Maybe the foam just "rots" after a year? I guess I need to dload the pics
of the inside of the unit and see about scheduling time to take the tower
apart. Just what I need... another project.. bleh.. :P

PS: Come to think of it, i'll bet I have spent more time on replying to
threads/moderating/updating the web forums etc. for this group than I
have playing my kit... thats really sad... :P
