Diki..., I agree with you on the drums. Those acoustic kits are IMO by far the best I've heard on any keyboard to date. Very live and very punchy. I still think Ketron needs to come down on their prices and keep them within reason though. Even Ketron's low/mid end is way out there. Look at the price for the XD9! Hell that thing goes for over $1,800 (without the vocalizer, without the optional flash sounds.., and it's only 64 note poly)....
At first, I would agree about the pricing on XD9 but now I see the beginning of the Audya from the X, XD & SD series. One of the great features of the XD & SD were the live drums. I would say even though you don't get the vocalizer or the hard drive included in the XD9 for 1800. but you get much more then any other mid-level keyboard at that time. It has great sounds & styles and put any other mid-level keyboard up to it and I sure the Ketron will really pull through. Also I sold my SD5 for the s900 and now I regret it, I wish I would have kept the SD5. That also has some great punch and with the new live drum set is icing on the cake.
