wow, you play both drums and piano really well! did you start playing both at the same time? do you practice both drums and piano equally? or maybe one day piano and the next drums? do prefere or fell like you play one instrument better than the other? you sound equally good on both to me.

hi guys,
thanks for the kind words!
to answer a couple of the questions.
i played drums from i was 10 but took up piano in my early 20s while studying music in boston. i never had any formal piano lesson though only theory and harmony lessons at berklee. these days i rarely practise drums (unfortunately) because i'm just to busy teaching, playing, and keeping my japanese skills up to date (i have a degree in japanese form the university in aarhus)
anyway i like the sound of the rd700gx(i don't play one myself) but regarding digital pianos i want one with speakers in it. that way it feels more of an acustic piano to me. i tried the fp7 but the sounds in that one is not so good as in the rd700gx, i'm looking forward to try the v piano though.
