Good points about the drums, Diki.

I see the Audio Drums didn't make it on Yamaha's new flagship piano based arranger, the recently introduced CVP-609, so it's anybody's guess that they'll even show up on the next Tyros.

Considering there were only 25 Audio Drum Styles out of the several hundred on the S950, I might even hazard a guess and say it just may be a feature confined to the mid-range arrangers...in any case, time will tell just where, and how far, Yamaha intends to take them.

In my own experience, with a few exceptions, the reaction has been very positive so far.

I am still waiting for my demo instrument...sales have been very brisk, and it seems that filling back orders has taken priority.
