Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Hey Aeron,

Let me just check with you - this miss-triggering problem happens 
with your TP65 (8-inch 3-zone snare pad)?  I had considered trading 
down to the TP65 thinking it was only an issue with the TP120SD (12-
inch pad).  In any case, please let me know how your next gig goes, 
because I intend to follow this issue very closely.

Nick.
