THanks to all of your for time and constructively critical suggestions.

I'll think about the cowbell!

I'm very low-tech (and old tech) when it comes to PG Music's esteemed products, on the basis that if it ain't broke, why fix/upgrade?? (PTPA 11 and b-i-a-b 7 point something) so no real sounds on my set.

My drummer pal lives literally 2 doors away so I'll try and get him on board.

Maybe I haven't played my last card on this one...
