A little about myself...I have been playing guitar for just over 20yrs..was in a few bands in my younger years, but after awhile I just fell out of the music. I sold all my gear except for one old acoustic guitar and just settled into life. You know the usual...career, wife (no kids) and after about 12yrs I got the itch again. But I soon learned that everything took a huge turn to the digital age...I started off by buying a new acoustic /electric guitar and a small practice amp. Then I started researching all the fancy new computer based products and I started creating my own mini studio. So now I have what I would consider a fairly inexpensive little set up. I was missing something...drums...so I went out and bought a MPD18 midi (Steven Slate edition) and started using that to make my drum tracks...but it was missing something...the raw feeling of actually hitting something besides a button. I started researching the heck out of edrums...and I came up with the best kit that would do what I wanted and would fit in my the second bedroom of my apt. I came up with the DM6, it's going to allow me to use my StevenSlate software to expand on the kits and sound. I ordered it on Sunday and just got an email that it was backordered, so no clue when I'll get it now...But I am looking forward to getting it and looking forward to getting to know the group here....I'm sure I'll have some questions. Thanks for reading and sorry for the long winded intro.
