The DTXtreme III immediately renders everything else a bit dated in the aesthetics department

Amazing bit of kit, Really responsive compared with Roland TD-20 and others. Loads of outputs make it great for recording - but who uses electric kits live?? Also a few of the standard kits on the brain suck, edit them - add decent sounding cymbals!!!! Dont worry about Rubber pads against Mesh, these are way better and respond quicker. Catching the crash is lush too.
Love this so much, and have my DW 9000's attached to it. The only thing i would say is wrong with this is the USB side of it, USB Host doesnt do anything but if you plug in a memory stick into USB Device then you can save your kits.
Advice: Use decent headphones or use an Amp.
