Greg,

The Pintech should come through with a vengeance once the settings 
are right. If the snare's in input 2, make sure that you flip up the 
DIP switch associated with that input on the back of the module.  
Then set your pad type for the snare in the trigger setup menu for DT 
snare. Depending on your voice settings, the snare should be fat and 
loud. The next problem might be to tame the dynamic range; we'll see. 
But don't start spending money for the sake of a big sound just yet.

By the way, all of Yamaha modules are DTX, though I suspect that you 
know, and the Yamaha pads will work with other modules.
