Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

No,the TP60s are just a hair under 8 inches, edge to edge, and the 
TP80S, which you get as a snare in the latest DTXPRESS kit, is just 
a hair over, probably to accommodate the rim switch. The TP60 
designation is confusing; some people think that it indicates 6 
inches. It's just the least expensive Yamaha rubber pad. The current 
DTXPRESS has TP60 pads for the high hat and three toms. As far as I 
can tell, their piezos are just as responsive as the TP80S's. A 
beginner won't be disappointed. I've been hitting drums for 38 
years; I'm impressed with them, especially for the price.
