I noticed Yamaha removed the GM Drum kit pictures from the top of the keys of the Tyros 3.

Does this mean the T3 has finally growed'up!

How about that Al?

Maybe Yamaha figured if you are capable enough to buy the top of the line....you probably know the standard GM drum map by now...

Maybe Yamaha re mapped the drums too..That would be good news...No dreaded hand clap..

Speaking of strange drum sounds..I wish Roland would get rid of that Latin drum sound..that sounds like a barking dog..

LOL, I know what you mean. I've never heard the Roland Latin sound, but the Yamaha drums used to drive me nuts. Besides, with my crappy eyesight, I couldn't even read those old markings on the keybed. For all know, they could have said; Tuttankamen wears army boots.

Wow, they removed the little pics! Very good move IMO. I'm confused though. I remember a few years ago I brought this issue up wondering why Yamaha did this with their pro arrangers, but I was met with a lot of hostility over it, and some people got pretty offended.

Anywho..., good to see Yamaha has taken them off.

How's little Billy or Katie supposed to learn to play the drums on their Tyros 3 without those cute little symbols? After all, the majority of Tyros 3's will reside in the living rooms of small children throughout the world and not on a professional stage or in a concert hall.

Good point Lee..

Our little ones are only allowed to play..the G70 and Media Station...If they are very good..maybe the DX7..


BTW: I bought another antique..Uncle Dave played one of these for a couple years..He said he loved it...any bets he knocks it now...

To be announced later...or guess it before hand..

I wish all of us would stop thinking that TOTL arrangers are made for us. First of all, we're on the wrong continent. Secondly, most of us think we're pros; again not the target audience.
