Bring up the keyboard layout for the Cocktail set in the PDF and it should indicate the note number or something that I can identify. I think I've loaded the Cocktail set a handful of times so I've never noticed it. -- -- Dave Modisette http://web.tampabay.rr.com/cmodiset/webpage/dave_modisette.htm www.plasticsamerica.com

They don't have it in stock, so while I saved $10 I won't get it until next week some time. They sent me an email a few hours after I ordered saying that the product hasn't been released by the manufacturer yet. Of course I know that's bullshit, they just don't have it in stock yet. I don't really mind waiting, but it would be nice if they'd be straight with you up front. Scott Vita

Sounds like calf skin heads. I heard one of the guys use the vintage set layer under the Pop/Rock kit and he got a great Steely Dan-ish sound. I love the grooves that come with this kit. There's some very recognisable grooves included. -- -- Dave Modisette http://web.tampabay.rr.com/cmodiset/webpage/dave_modisette.htm |
