On my dtxpress 2 I use a tp100 for snare, a pcy150s for ride, a 
pcy130s for crash and a roland cy5 for hihat. The roland took some 
poking around with the settings, but It now works great....

I tried the roland as a crash too, it worked but i couldn't get it to 
choke.

The tp100 is essentially the same as a tp120 so there shouldn't be a 
problem.

good luck
