Roland Mesh Pads on a DTXPRESS III?

2005-04-23 by fjcelauro

Hi everyone,
I have read pretty deep into the posts and I even just got off the 
phone with the guy at drumbalaya and he didn't give me a straight 
answer (in all fairness he tried, he just went over my head without 
realizing).  I was just picking up an iron cobra powerglide double 
pedal to complement the rolling glide I have had and I sat down and 
played the high end Roland V-Drum kit with all mesh pads and was blown 
away by the bounce and feel the mesh pads give.  I would really like 
to put a Roland pd-100 or 80 as my snare but will it work through a 
DTXpress III module?  Is Pintech a better choice?  I cant use an 
acoustic snare with a mesh head and a trigger because, besides not 
understanding what that means, I live in an apartment near where I go 
to law school and can't use acoustic drums (in fact, at night my 
neighbors complain when I play hard and it shakes the floor, and thats 
an edrum set!).  I would greatly appreciate anyone's help.  Party on.
Frank
