Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

As you have read here, a few of us who play live with a band have 
encountered miss-triggering problems - usually on snare and kick 
pads, and usually because of the sonic boom from a nearby bass 
stack - and so it is wise of you to take precautions. I reckon you 
should be okay if you keep bass amplifiers turned away from your 
kit, but only you can tell when you play live.

Regarding dropouts from your 9/10 input, I had that problem too. 
Problem was solved when I bought a cable that splits two monos from 
the stereo jack. Don't waste your time with adaptors because in my 
experience they are ultimately unreliable, particularly when the 
room and everything in it is shaking. The fewer jacks (plugs) you 
are using, the fewer things can shake loose.
