Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Yes this is indeed the store that simon (flurbs) represents. I have 
bought a number of things from him, I'd defnitely say give them a 
call or email to ask directly, thay are very helpful chaps down 
there. FWIW I have been using one of my Hart Pro Toms as a mono snare 
with my DTXpress 1 brain for a while, until I find a permanemt 
replacement. It have perfoemed fine, wouldn't say it is optimal, but 
I only use the Xpress for practice at home, so top sounds & fantastic 
triggering are not particualrly important.  However the current Hart 
pads now come with the newer & improved TE3.2 trigger system, this 
may have made using a Yamaha brain fully possible. Hopefully Simon 
will be able to clear this issue up.
