Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

So, being into minimizing waste and easily lured into buying groovy
new stuff by you bad influence types.... ;-)

I am now lusting after the TP120S and believe I can keep the existing snare
pad in a fully functional configuration.

 From the documentation available, it seems I can move a tom pad to input
9/10, the PC130S to the ex-tom jack, and the TP65S to the ex-cymbal jack.
The single, dual and triple outputs of the pads in question will still 
be on inputs
that support their full function while opening up the snare input for 
the TP120S.
That or just put the TP120S into the newly open cymbal input...plus the 
whole
theory rides on 2,6,7 being interchangeable on the programming side.

Now all I need to find is a timbale mapping that supports rim shots one 
one edge
and cascara on the other.  I can't see one in either of the two manuals, 
is there no
such sound in the DTX3 ?
