I have the DTX V2 and love it.  Hard to beat for the money and very easy to change things.  The DTX Express is also easy to use and I have spent a lot of time on it too but don't own one.  

Hi TAMApete03!

I have the Yamaha DTXpress II kit, and I really like it.  I take good care of it like anything else, and it's beeen very good for me.  I've been using it to help me get my chops back, and maybe I'll play live one day.  I'm going to be making mesh head pads, based on the Roland design.  I have one of these mesh pads from a friend, and it does work very well on this module.

Now, before you start playing on the kick pad (KP-65), put a bass drum beater patch on it to keep the surface from crumbling off where the beater(s) hit(s) the pad.  Doing this WILL NOT void the warranty on the kick pad nor ANY part of the kit.  I've had to do this rather than send off the kick pad and be without a kick pad for a few weeks.  This kick pad, however, is big enough to accept a double pedal arrangement, something still not possible on the bottom-end Roland drum set.

The rack is very sturdy, just don't overtighten the clamps (this is NOT necessary and I've never had a pad slip on me ANYWHERE)

Another thing.  The snare pad is a 3-zone pad, not a two zone pad.  Depending on the serial number of the module you're getting, it supports 3 zone pads on either inputs 2,6, and 7 or inputs 1-8.  The latter is avialable on very recent releases of this module that comes with this drum kit.  So, you could replace yout single-zone pads with these 3-zone pads.

If you want to use an amplifier for this, get a keyboard amplifier, not a guitar or bass guitar amplifier.  The keyboard amp will reproduce the really low end stuff and the shimmering cymbals properly.  Seeing I got this drum kit 5 months ago, I'm in the process of saving for an amp.  I looked at the Roland KC-100, KC-300/350, Peaveys, JBL, and the Behringer KX-1200.  The Behringer KX-1200, it is.  That amp is one of the few amps out there that are really 3-way (horn tweeter, 120-watt  5" midrange speaker, and 150-watt 15" subwoofer).

Good luck on your decision and let us know what you decide on!
