I see Drumbalaya lists some new Zenbals, including 10" dual and 
single, hi-hat and mini-chinas, but no photos. Do they exist yet? 
Predictably, there's nothing on Pintech's site. Why are e-drum 
manufacturer's sites so poor?

Looks like just the existing 14" range there to me. Drumbalaya also 
list some "semi-transparent" Pintech cymbals too, which might be 
interesting (or might be the existing TC range in new materials).

I talked to Brian LaRue at Pintech in May. He said the new cymbals 
were about 3-4 weeks away.
From what I can tell, they're not available yet.
He did say the 10" hi hat would be packaged with a cymbal stand.
I want one.

Stephen and everyone,

With this list of 740 or so members, with some of the silent ones 
starting to show their hands, it might be a good time to see whether 
we can arrange to demo products that appear to have strong interest 
among the members. We could ask Brian LaRue of Pintech, who is a 
member, if, say, he could send out the Pintech 10" hat for review by 
a group member who owns an Xpress module. Again, a report by someone 
familiar to 700 people collected into one mailing list about a 
product sent to us directly from a company would not hurt either 
sales or customer relations. 

I'm going to be in and out for the next two weeks or so. But I would 
be happy to speak with Brian personally about it as soon as I can, or 
someone else could represent the group (Stephen, you're already a 
safe bet with your "I want one"). Brian reads us, so he may volunteer 
his own opinion on the matter. I think that he's aware that Pintech 
has established a strong base here, even though we're gathered under 
the umbrella of the Xpress kit. Everyone of my pads, for instance, is 
a Pintech woven head, and I am a big fan. I'll check back later this 
week to see if people like the idea.

Ed:
Naturally, I think it's a GREAT idea. Especially if I were to be the 
CHOSEN ONE. Speaking of pintech gear; I'm all pintech except for my 
hi-hat. Which is precisely the reason why I'm waiting for the new 
pintech hats to come out.

I wouldn't have to be a paid reviewer/endorser; but a decent discount 
wouldn't hurt.

Brain: Are you listening?

Stephen

p.s. Brian, are you still coming to Louisville for the PASIC 
convention? If so, give me details.

Hi everyone,

I'm officially away for another weeek and a half but able to check my 
mail etc today. I spoke to Brian LaRue at Pintech this afternoon 
about the possibility of group members doing reviews of demo 
products. He was quite receptive to the idea. (Stephen, I've e-mailed 
you offline; give me a holler back if you get the message.) Anyway, 
this would be a great opportunity for us to share valuable 
information with each other, and Pintech, about an important and 
impressive line of products, which, by the way, are eminently 
compatible with Yamaha electronics. As I have said before, the 
Pintech line has much to offer Xpress, Xtreme, and DTX owners, and 
700 or more people getting the good word can't hurt Pintech either.

Didn't pick up my email or check the Forum until late. I'll get with 
Brian about the possibility of a review. Speaking of reviews, what is 
the feasability of somehow creating files of reviews by manufacturer, 
cross-referenced by equipment type? That way, members could quickly 
find reviews either by brand or pad type, for instance. 
If there's not a way to do that on Yahoo!, maybe we could double-post 
the reviews; once here and once (in a manageable system) on 
DTXpressions.

Stephen,

Excellent idea. I was thinking on those lines myself. When I can get 
to my own computer sometime in the next week or so, I'll help to 
address this matter. I'll get back to you about the review when I 
can, but I hope you and Brian get together.

Details now on edrums.com - and the hat does come with an X-Hat. 
Pictures are not too good, alas.

Time to get busy with those reviews, Stephen!
