way
too much stuff to lug around for this old back. I also use real cymbals

I am beginning to entertain the notion of adding an acoustic snare. The
e-cymbals are not there yet and the e-snare is finicky. But, the toms and
bass drums, as well as the other percussion instruments, are excellent.
We
cover a bunch of different styles and try to come as close to the original
as our instrumentation will allow. So, I will probably stick with this
for
a while ... or at least until I get tired of slepping and tweaking :)

Unless you are a very light hitter, if you go with an acoustic snare you
will loose the E's advantage of better stage volume control. With many
players having real cymbals does the same thing. I prefer to work with
drummers who are all real or all E.

It's a trigger->midi converter and a tone generator, that's all.
It doesn't do any sort of sequencing, velocity switching, or give any
sort of loop/drum machine functionality. Not that these things are
necessary, but there are modules out there that do all of this, and
more.

I didn't say it was an all-inclusive drum machine. I won't say most, but a
lot of drummers don't need or use these functions you list anyhow. If I'm
going to use those features I'd rather go with a dedicated machine and
sampler. I played the Yamis. I liked what I heard, but the latency, the
feel, and the overall sound I didn't care for. I'll stay with my ddrum3
Turbo, thanks. I've yet to see another module equal 1.6ms triggering
latency.

sound like acoustics. If you want to expand the possibilities of what
it's possible to do on a drumset, you need a module more like the
Yamaha. Check out what guys like Akira Jimbo and Tony Verderosa are
doing with the Yamaha kits.

Again, if I'm going that route I'd go dedicated machines, and not just one.
PS, this thread would be better suited in the rec.music.makers.percussion
newsgroup.
