Ian, you've responded to nearly every negative post on Yamaha and although the Tyros is a great instrument, I sometimes find that your praise borders on the cultish. It's one thing to prefer the T3 over every other keyboard, but sometimes it seems that you think that every feature on Yamaha is light years ahead of anything else.
So, if you don't mind, a couple of questions to clarify your position:
- Which keyboard, (between Korg, Yamaha, Roland and Ketron), do you think has the best drums?
- Can you name three things you've seen on another board that you'd like to see in the Tyros?
- Do you think that this T3 release is as revolutionary as the T2 release was?
- What is / was your position at Yamaha?

1. Roland for "live" play...Yamaha for recording, although I have yet to try the T3's kits...they may prove great for "live" as well.
2. Roland's style make-up tools, Korg's Guitar mode, Roland's Chord Sequencer(on earlier instruments).
3. No...the T2 was a big step above the T1...the T3 is more of an evolutionary step, although it is an impressive step, nevertheless.
4. Clinician/demonstrator for Yamaha Canada in Atlantic Canada...presently on "ease back" having been on sick leave since last June 4th, 2007.
