Actually a mate of mine is a DDrum fan. Moved to Vdrum, and wish he hadn't.
I like them both, but you can't beat the sound of a mic'd snare imo.
I'm all for just rocking up tunes. Let PPOT do what they do well, and let us just make distorted noise

I really would like to avoid doing anything that PPOT have done, are doing, and will do, if you know what I mean.
I'm ok for the event, hopefully the days before will be ok. It really depends on work commitment.
Chris, have you spoken to anyone SIDlike about this yet, like Benn?
