Hi Uncle Dave,
maybe the kn drum sounds, actually sound too realistic, and people aren't used to that( haahaa)
No offense, but as for rating va7 drums above kn7. I dragged the va7 out the other day, to give it another try ( plain haven't warmed to it yet). Took me a couple of minutes to realize that it was brush drums playing in the background, whereas what it sounded like, was a buzz in the speakers.

I personally prefer the kn7 sounds to my ex 9000pro also.

Maybe it's just the fantastic kn7 speaker system that makes the keyboard sound so great.


best wishes
Rikki

p.s.
Uncle Dave, you really know how to bait us one eyed Technic Fans haahaa.

There is also a huge advantage in the Tyros/psr lineup where drum sounds are concerned.(yeah, yeah.... more opinions). Many of my friends that heard the kn7k thought that the drums were less than stellar.

I'd rate drum tones in this order:
(not styles, just tones)

1)Ketron/Korg?Tyros
2)Roland VA/PSR/Gem
3)Technics/Casio/Farfisa
