    Default Yamaha DTX550K

    Brought it home last night. Finally got her configured the way I like it. Here's some pics of the final product:

    Thanks, guys! It is a comfy set, indeed. It doesn't beat the feel of playing my acoustic set but it's still A LOT of fun. The various sounds in the kit have really opened up my mind creatively and I'm playing beats I probably wouldn't have thought of with just the regular drum sounds. That's also helping my chops because it's forcing me to patterns that are outside of my comfort zone.

    As for the DTX pad, I love it! You won't mistake it for a real snare no matter what Yamaha would like you to believe, but it's still the best feeling drum pad out there.

    Thanks for the 1st hand reviews! I plan on upgrading in the future and what you've mentioned already will help down the road!

    Upgrading to the DTX500? Don't you already own a DTXpress IV? If so, I wouldn't worry too much about the DTX500 module. It's essentially the same module, just upgraded to be compatible with the new DTX pads. The DTX pads are awesome, but I don't know that I'd reinvest hundreds of dollars just to use them.
