I have a TP120SD that I use with a DTXpress II and it works well.  
I'm able to use all 3 zones.  The only thing that you might need to 
be alert to is that if the red adjustment knob (which doesn't serve a 
function I know of with the DTXpress II) somehow winds up in between 
the "indents" it can throw the triggering off - i.e., the rim and pad 
trigger the same (no unique rim sound).  The red knob on the first 
TP120SD I had would vibrate in between "indents" too easily; however, 
Yamaha quickly and graciously replaced it (through Guitar Center).  
Just make sure the red knob is seating properly.  Other than this 
issue, it's a terrific pad - very responsive and better than other 
pads (e.g., Pintech, Alessis/Hart, Roland)and supplemental surface 
triggers I've tried for snare.
