Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Not really, even though I think the wife thinks so sometimes.

There is a major difference in the construction of the two pads types,
TP65 and the TP100/120. The TP65 is rubber covering a metal disk that
floats on the rim of the bottom plastic housing and has very little
give. The TP100/120 is rubber on a 3/8" dense composite board and the
rubber is much thicker than on the TP65, so you get more of a rebound
and a better feel in my opinion. The metal disk backing on the TP65/80
just did not have a lot of give.
 
There are pics of the TP65 here at the Dtxpress site and there are
photos of the inside of the TP100/120 pads on the Yahoogroups/dtxtreme
site. The larger playing surface of the TP100/120 also helps in playing
cross-stick. Had I not fully upgraded to the Dtxtreme IIS, I would have
at least upgraded the snare on my Dtxpress II. 
 
Ed, I was just thinking about shooting off a PM to you. I guess Vern is
fully into the "Halloween production mode" by now (Vern??). I also need
to write up a review of the Smartrigger cymbal Marty sent me to review. 
 
Also, as noted on the Dtxperience site, they have "officially" made
public, they are working on a new kick pad to address the problems that
they are having with the KP65, for those that don't visit that site.
