It sure is mate, I do love her. I have another pad but im waiting on some triggers to arrive but Im liking where I have my ride set up. Im also going to add a pearl firecracker 10 inch snare and some real hats to her for live sets.

that's kinda cool. I have a DTXpress. It's OK, but leaves me hungry for my acoustic. Maybe I need to give electric a *better* shot.

DTXpress are the hard pads right? I have a hard pad as a hi hat cos the rebound is great on them but my pintech pads feels like the real thing. Great for toms and I can even set the sensitivity on them for dyanamics and as well as play rimshots. My only bug bear are the cymbals (chokable) but Im sure I can dick with the settings for that primo sound. DUDE go with a hybrid kit and have the best of both worlds.

they are the hard pads. I'm learning how to become a more graceful drummer, and I get a pretty good bounce out of the snare. Also, I started playing in my socks and suddenly I'm getting better response out of the hi-hat pedal too. It used to not open up for me when I released. I was really bummed about that.

My only real complaint is that there aren't enough cymbal options. It's either crash or ride, nothing in between. But maybe a hybrid kit is the way to go, and I could add a splash.

Well I hear to can split the channels to add more cymbals but I'm too much of an arce to work that out. What I have done though is gone back to a traditional jazz kit and where that tom use to be add a cymbal....all I had to do was make my own custom kit . Now I've got the fatest Bass drums the poppiest snare and I can pick a couple of cymbal sounds close to my liking. My module is th TD6 by the way, what's yours?

Hmm, not sure actually, I'll have to check.

but the splitting channels... I don't see how that would work. seems like you'd have two pads giving you the same sound.
