I found this list yesterday, and have been stuck reading past posts for many hours. Call me obsessive, but I am having a great time getting back to playing after a ten year hiatus. And the DTXpress is way cooler than I anticipated... Bought my DTXpress in mid November, after being motivated (and harassed by a guitar playing buddy) to get back to it. Condo dweller, I need e-drums: The Yamaha was the choice after a couple of weeks of research and test-drives. Background: made my living playing at one time...then I got a mortgage, started my own biz etc. Loving playing again. Got a couple of rehearsal fill-in invites last month with a 12 pc R&B band...kind of a Commitments/Motown thing. Could not have done it without the "robo-kit" Dug out my 1973 Gretsch's, tuned 'em, and smacked 'em for the first time three weekks ago at the rehearsal.True, I'm rusty in the chops area, but the groove came back, much to my relief. Bass player gave me the nod! I've been saved....Amen. Mark o
