Pro,
I completely understand that PSR's below the 9000 are geared for the home musician, but the drums really are in dire need of some changes. Even the Casio CTK-671 has better dance and analog kits. If Yamaha was smart they would have carried over some kits from the original or current DJX models. Just those kits alone would make a world of difference. Currently the PSR's really only have one kit for dance music and it's EXTREMELY dated.... I know you don't always have to peck out the drum tracks for songs, because dance and techno all use loops... I think the PSR's a good boards, and Yamaha really gives the user the best bang for the buck, but they could at least update the percussion.. Why should we have to buy the PSR-9000, or the 9000 Pro to have good drum kits?? Yamaha did so well on the other instruments that it's a shame they slacked off on the kits... If I've been complaning about this too much everyone I'm sorry.. It's just that I'm not just a keyboard player.. I also am a drummer and a guitar player.. I strongly feel that drums really hold a composition together and can often bring life to the music... If Yamaha allowed some way of editing the drum kits it would be differnt, but they don't
