I never said they weren't. I too think the Motif XS drums are some of the best on the planet. The debate is about Yamaha putting excellent drum kits on their top-of-the-line Arrangers. They're doing better as evidenced by the Tyros/2. But I think they can do better. And I think most people would agree with that sentiment. Especially at the price Yamaha is charging for their high end arrangers.

And unfortunately that PLG-150 expansion card from the drum demo you posted can't be installed into a Tyros2. You could put the PLG-150 into a PSR-9000PRO to supplement the 9000PRO's drum sounds but doing so would cost around $250.00 a pop.

Best,
Mike
