Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

well depending on what your needs are going to be for the extra pad
(ex. what sound you're going to trigger with the pad,and where you're 
gonna locate the pad on your kit)you do have some different choices 
in trigger pads that you could use, i have used all of the following 
pads in various combinations with my dtxpress modules,and haven't 
really seen any major compatability problems that couldn't be 
corrected by tweaking a few settings on the module itself(this really 
depends on the type of trigger pads you'd be using generally..i have 
used roland pd5,and pd7's, acupads, pintech concertcasts,db-12's,nr-
6's,and the pintech tc series cymbals(these cymbal triggers weren't 
very good,but everything else seemed to get the job done quite 
nicely),drum tech pads,and of course the tp-60's,and tp-80's,as well 
as the yamaha bp-80's.. i'm currently in the process of upgrading my 
cymbal triggers to hart e-cymbals,and the e-cymbal II's series,so i 
have found that these will need some more detailed tweaking,but 
should end up being worth it after i get them adjusted just right..


hope this helps,
