Not to mention they can't stand up to a good pounding when the music really gets rockin'!

Tools: they're only tools, not a panacea, eh?

J:L,

Nothing but in complete agreement with you. No wonder 90+% of my time is spent in live music with acoustic instruments. I'm happy for the realm of electronics for what I can't do, and what I am able to explore, and some day it may be more of a satisfying experience on a deep level.

For now it isn't, and a simple resonant drum exceeds that experience by light years...

Cheers,
Jon
