Hey Boys,

The SDX is now the grandfather. Check out this site synesthesiacorp.com.
Danny Carey of Tool is now using these drums. We can leave our SDX 
systems at home now!! I'm getting mine after X-mas.

Check em' out.

ciao,

TMC

A brain that only controls 1 pad????  And it has 2 knobs (1 is JUST
volume, nothing else) & 1 button...gotta be a confusing son of a gun
to use that UI (and I thought the DM Pro had a small LCD screen lol)!

And I can see that the pad has multiple zones, but for what it does,
and for the price, doesn't seem much to it...I'll let Danny Carey suss
it out for me, I am sure he has the extra grand to blow on toys!  And
from the looks of it, he is only using the 1 pad, not a whole kit like
the SDX...maybe replaced his wave drum with a "new toy", i dunno. 
Chances are he got it free just so they could use his name as an
endorsement...that's the way it goes...

In no way, shape, or comparison will this replace the SDX...ever.

Just my opinion.

For what it does vs. what it cost. Not worth it. Maybe $200.00

Some people have to buy gadgets to make them sound good..........the rest just have natural talent.  Pity Danny Carey falls into the 1st statement..........$200, more like 50!!

I wonder what drummers said when simmons first hit the market......
maybe some of the same B.S.  Change is such a bad thing!!
Oh yeah, Danny Carey is smart enough to know the SDX will NOT last on 
the road/studio forever. Step into the light.
Or turn it off.
