Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

I picked up two used PD-8 dual trigger pads and a new KD-8 kick, and 
except for having to muck about a bit with the trigger settings in the 
module for the KD-8, they all work fine. The original Yamaha pads are 
single trigger, but the module allows for dual trigger pads, and I saw 
this as a cheap and easy way to fit twice the kit in one space.
If I hadn't decided to just get a whole new kit, I'd probably get some 
PD-7's and a decent mesh snare as well. But I need a new brain, so it's 
time to plunk down the big cash. Also, I don't really care for the 
cymbals and hats in this unit, I find they're too undependable, so I 
use real cymbals, and usually a real snare too. I use this kit mainly 
for theater productions, so I'm always using mallets and brushes on the 
cymbals.
