Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Hi All,

I know some of you have considered upgrading your snare pad -
Musiciansfriend.com has a blemished on that is a lower price than new
- if interested go to
http://www.musiciansfriend.com/srs7/sid=030201091912024159206037567082/search/g=home/detail/base_id/67073

I think the Yamaha pad is MUCH better than the Pintech or the rubber pads.

Walt

Be careful of buying "blemished" equipment from
MusiciansFriend.Com.  I bought a PinTech Trigger
Cymbal that arrived broken.  The fix was not difficult
and just required some simple soldering, but when I
called and complained I was reminded that I bought
"blemished" equipment.  Just read their policies very
carefully and understand that these folks can
sometimes have a very broad definition of what
constitutes "blemished."

Walt's opinion is to be trusted on all things related to electronic 
drums, but on the matter of Musiciansfriend, I bought a "new" cymbal 
from them a good while back that had an extra hole drilled in it. 
These occurrences are rare, but a heads up isn't a bad idea.

I agree - it would be advisable to call them to find
out what the blemish is, and make a determination of
its impact.   Should I continue the thread by pointing
out they also have a refurbished JBL EON 15?  Nah, I
won't go there!
