OK, cool.   Do the pie shaped cymbals that come with the II have a 
separate bow and edge sound? 


***I'm shopping for my first ekit at this time.  I've played A drums 
for a few years, but not in the last 9 years or so because of their 
loud volume and that I've been living in apartments.  

I played a II in a store the other day.  I liked the feel of the 
Yamaha rubber pads pretty much.   I liked them more than the feel of 
the Roland pads from a TD3 kit I tried before (which would be the 
same as their TD6 V-Tour pads.)  I thought the Roland ones didn't 
have enough rebound like an A drum has.
