Wow you guys are fast.... I m sitting here in my hotel with a 28kbps connection probably paying $5.00/min so I will make this short:
New Roland cymbals: Nice feel, 3 zones on the crash when used with the TDW-1, BUT THE CHOKE RESPONSE IS REALLY SLOW. http://www.sepdrums.com/P1190006.jpg
Nice new racks for the V-Drums, nice new shell colors.
Yamaha DTXTreme: Not too impressed. Yamaha didn't even have a place where people could play it. I had to beg them to try it. It was nice, but I liked the V's better. I really like my SpaceMuffins better
.....
Save your $$$.
DrumTech has a VERY nice kit out. I will have more info on it soon. It uses Remo shells (like another company mentioned on this site quite often), mesh heads (fully baffled - NICE stick response), and positional sensing cymbals. 3 zone snare as well. Very slick, and very cost effective! I think these guys have done their homework and have a real alternative to V's...Here is a pic: http://www.sepdrums.com/P1190030.jpg
Also Hart Dynamics has some excellent new ecymbals out. Chokable crashes and new all metal dual zone rides. Very nice. http://www.sepdrums.com/P1190025.jpg
Pintech didnt show
... Not sure what the deal is there.???..?? THeir booth is there, but empty... Hmmm.
I will have more soon.
