I'm pleased for you Fran.

I'm also pleased to report that I am very content with my arranger's drums, too. They work perfectly with the instrument's sounds, as they were intended.

It's to our advantage that companies make different sounding arrangers, as that gives us each a choice in ultimately obtaining what sound we like to hear coming from our speakers.

What's even more important, is that we both were able to find what worked best for our personal needs.

Very good post.

PS...Still no BK-9? Of course, it may not be on your agenda, as you seem to favor TOTL instruments over the mid-rangers. Still it might be worth a go...I see Hammer has a nearly new one for sale at a great price.
