This topic has got me curious about something regarding the T2's drums. I agree that typical Yamaha arranger drums leave a bit to be desired. This was even a complaint with the the T1.

Are the T2's drums velocity switched? Are there multiple layers on some of the keys? I ask this because this is what Roland does. The bongos on Roland's are a good example. They're velocity switched. Some have up to 3 samples on one key. Plus the snares are velocity switched too. I've listened to numerous online demos of the T2 from users and Yammies demos, but I can't hear any real di-hard velocity switching going on with the drums.

Also I think Roland's styles are much more expressive due to the dynamics within the drum track. They utilize the velocity switching, and the drums just sound more natural.

Does Yamaha also use "ghost" notes on the drums with the T2?
