Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Have you considered Pintech Pads Instead of Hart Dynamics, I own 2 Pintech kits (1 Visual Custom and 1 Custom Studio Elite)  The heads are mesh and tensionable, but it does not affect triggering, it just adjusts the feel of the pads.  Their concertcast pads look a lot like real drums (especially the tour elite version.)  Check them out at www.pintechworld.com.

I've just searched thru the archives to find other discussions regarding generally mesh vs rubber, and now I'm more uncertain, as it seems that some folks are really impressed with mesh, and some like me have really been impressed with the DTX2S rubber.
 
Now I'm not sure if I should add the Hart drums in to keep the acoustic look, or if I should go with all Yamaha pads to keep the consistant rubber feel across the kit and with much regret, sacrifice the look... man, this sucks... yamaha... are you listening... build a TP-100 that looks like an acoustic... thanks...

I was pondering if it might be feasible to mount the TP100 pads 
*inside* the top of a regular A shell.

Perhaps a couple of inexpensive 12" tom shells, cut in half and with 
top hoop and lugs fitted, and some sort of cushioned support system 
so that the TP100s would just lie, snug as a bug in a rug, at the 
right height at the top of the shell. You could do the same with the 
TP120.

Just the musings of a slightly tired old man. Ignore me, I'll fall 
asleep soon and leave you all alone.
