I sincerely believe that if Yamaha provided an option where you could import the drum kits from their entire line, plus drum kits from EVERY other manufacturer, the increase in sales would be minuscule at best. Keep in mind that some folks will bitch if they were hung with a brand-new rope. Consequently, I usually don't put a lot of stock in the constant Yamaha naysayers. It appears as if they thoroughly enjoy bitching and moaning about something--right or wrong.

Someone posted that you should just learn to play the keyboard you have. I agree. Diki and I have both posted that most people will never take the time to explore the possibilities of their arrangers. I agree with his statement as well.

One last thing. Several years ago Fran posted that the only way he would ever sell his G-1000 was when someone pried it from his dead, gnarled fingers, or something along those lines. Since then he has tried damned near every keyboard that has ever been manufactured. His G-1000 is long gone, and he's wowing huge audiences on Atlantic City's Boardwalk with his G-70 hooked up to a couple 16-watt, peak-power, stereo speakers spaced an inch apart. Yessah! I still believe in the Tooth Fairy!

Cheers,
