I haven't turned my iPod on in about 18 months. Guess I don't need it.

I prefer piano concertos, though there are a few violin concertos that I have enjoyed. But I'm a neophyte. I may have a different answer in ten years.

I'm not going to stream this as I've had it pre-ordered and will wait to hear the disc. Interesting concept and players.

Thanks for posting those Flurin.

Wow! Many happy returns!

Well, to be precise it appears I am "da burly man." That's what my GF has been consistently calling me. I have been called worse! Looking forward to these new ones. I've bought every set so far, and even those I was looking at a little bit funnily before listening have been rewarding listens.

I enjoyed ALL of the Hemphill set. Went through it all with great enjoyment. When I can I need to spin it all again.

Sure is a nice looking cover.

Finished True Blood Season Five on Blu-ray. Just about to start Hamlet, no I mean Sons of Anarchy Season Six on Blu-ray.

Hmm. . . I personally don't think Sade is trying to sing in that bag. Have you tried Maucha Adnet? I like her and she reminds me of Astrud in some ways. Maucha was a member of Jobim's circle of singers for a while and I think she learned a lot.

Yeah, THAT would be nice to see.

Many happy happy returns!

It's not for me, but I could see buying it and making three or four sandwhices with some additional buns or bread. . . back a few years ago when I got together with my two best friends on Monday nights this would have been a nice meal.

Whoo hoo! amazon.fr has them available for pre-order.

I wouldn't get too hung up on sound module differences. My guess is these days most all would be sufficient, I would look myself more at the playability and expressiveness of the pads and the sturdiness and ease of setup. These were the key features I liked about the Roland.

No don't believe it has that. I'm in another state at the moment and for a few more days (wedding of one of my girl friend's nieces) and won't be able to check for a while, but I'm pretty sure the answer is no. But the sounds on this set are really nice and you can adjust the sounds quite easily and extensively, it's a very good set.

Mine is no longer made, it's a Roland TD9-S set. http://www.zzounds.com/item--ROLTD9S

I don't have experience with the Alesis, but have had electronic kits from Simmons ('eighties) and currently have a Roland. The Roland is a very nice kit and the companion amplifier (sold separately) is the very best I've ever used with a drumkit. Electronic drumkit drumming is very different from acoustic kit drumming. (I've had Ludwig in the past, have had a Sonor kit for over 25 years now, not used much the last decade.)

Yes, awesome isn't it? We're talking about this in the "Bob Dylan Corner."

Personally I think if this were recorded we'd have seen boots of it and possibly an official release by now. But I hope I'm wrong! I'd love to hear it, especailly in the great sound I know would come from an official release.

Many many happy returns!
