ES? No ES here (yet) - you mean DR I guess, as in PLG150-DR drum expansion card (as a matter of fact: the DR card will work in the Motif ES also). I've completed the demos but it'll be tomorrow before they get on the web. The demos are comparisons of the DR sounds versus the stock Live!Standard drum kit in the 9000 Pro, which I consider to be it's best drum kit. Three songs played on each, including a serious drum solo midi file that came with the DR - I'll post that too so you can play it on your keyboard for comparison.

AJ: I agree with you - noone but me will ever care about which drum sounds I use in my shows, but the DR acoustic drum sounds are much more realistic-sounding and studio-worthy than the stock 9000 Pro or any other keyboard that I'm aware of. I was quite content to use the stock 9000 Pro kits but the DR expansion card sounds are an improvement and have the added benefit of freeing up more polyphony on my keyboard. And the drums on the DR are individually editable using OPT from within Sonar. I like.

Demos in da morning...
