Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Hi all, 

I've gotten myself into something interesting. I bought 3 2nd hand pintech CC pads on 
eBay (for the small price of $197 including shipping to Europe) (acually the package also 
had a Duaz pad, but I don't think I'll use it). One of the three pads is a 'bass drum pad', but 
I'll disassemble it to use as tom pad, because the KP65 is working very well. Of course, the 
trade-off for the price was the state of the pads. Someone (previous owner?) has been 
really messing around with the pads in a quick-and-dirty way. The best thing is to replace 
all the foam. However, since all three pads had different foam-rubber-plastic-head 
configurations, I don't know what it should be like! The question is whether someone 
somewhere did the same sort of dissection of the pads as OGD did for the Yamaha pads. 
Does anyone know where to find it on the web, or does anyone know what the right 
combination (including layer thicknes, best kind of foam) should be? I've also been looking 
on the Pintech groups, but couldn't find anything. If all else fails, I'll buy a new one to find 
out. 

Another point is how to assemble it to the Yamaha rack. I can figure out something, but if 
anyone has experience it will help. 

Final point is the potmeter that Ed has been mentioning for using Pintech pads with the 
DTXPress brain. What are the specs of such a pot and where do I need to solder it. (Ed?)

I guess I won't have much time for drumming!

Thanks very much.
