Sincerely, the Grammer Police.


Recently, while I was SETTIN' at my SX900, I was very happy enjoying the new toy. But then, I reached for my drink (coffee of course!) and couldn't remember where I had SIT it. So I looked around and there it was SETTIN' on the table beside where the SX900 was SITTIN'. All was good once I got the drink and SET back down.... Just sayin'.... rotf2

Sorry Don - it's cold as all "YOU KNOW WHAT" here in the south today... couldn't help it.

YEAH - there's a huge blemish on that "mint" cube. If they weren't so heavy, I'd switch it with the one that gets covered with the rack case.

Wow Dave - congrats on being a music teacher! I did that gig for a short while before jumping into the AF Band. I was an elementary music resource teacher (instrumental). I will admint that I frequently went home with headaches from squeaking clarinets and drummers who would just not stop drumming. But the teaching job was a fun gig for sure - just got the calling for the playing gig --- it was a tough decision for sure. Congrats on your service to the lucky students!

When I turned 50, I decided to teach high school music and drama in an alternative school that was populated with mostly special needs, and hard-a** kids. Best ten years of my life. I turned 60, and just wanted more stage time, so I retired from that and added more nights performing. The most gratifying part was producing the musicals, and concerts. LOVE to watch my kids shine their own light. Friday I get to sit front row, center at their fall production of “Peter and the Star Catcher” ... SO excited to see everyone.

Nice setup.

So did you find the Rhodes sounds in the SX-900? Any good?
I suppose they can't match the SV1. Is that an electronic base drum pedal that's part of your drum kit?

Oh yea, hope you still have room for visitors. Ya never know, Donny may need a place to crash. smile

Congrats Dave on your musical accomplishments and your service to those special kids! Musicals are a blast - think the musicians and performers enjoy performing in them as much as the audience loves seeing them! A "win-win" for the kids, staff, and the watchers!

Larry, I found a few factory sounds that are pretty good, and I like the DX (from exp pack) blended with a more mellow choice. I'm no where NEAR settled in with this board - I just know I like what it does, so far. I'm in no real rush to dig too deep. I can play it as is when I need to.

That kick drum pedal is the Roland KT-10, and it's AWESOME! I have the old KD-7 around in case a drummer plays double pedals, but for me - it's great.
