New for BFD is the Jazz & Funk expansion pack! 55gigs of great sounds that I produced this last year. Stay tuned to www.fxpansion.com for more details. It will be released soon. Also, the Zendrum is a lot more involved than just piezos on a chunk of wood. You would be waisting $200 if you went that route! Hope this helps! John Hello,

David and his team are incredible people who are very dedicated to making unique, quality instruments. Heck - he even copped a custom stain for my unit! Performed flawlessly during the time I used it, but eventually got away from performing and couldn't afford to keep it at that stage of my life. I may get another one someday when I'm a rockstar. Until then, if you're a percussionist, this is one of the best electronic instruments you'll come across. Just ask Futureman! I had a custom-made Zendrum for a few years.

If I had the $1600, I'd probably still go the Zen Drum route. Though, as always, you lose the fun of building it. :-) Good to observe. If I had the $1600, I’d probably still go the Zen Drum route.
