Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Hi Dopmi,

I can help you with the cymbal stabilizer - Drumbalaya
has then (www.drumbalaya.com).  If you look at their
Yamaha section, it is part number VU424400.  I can't
remember seeing a toe stop for a Yamaha pedal in my
internet travels, but I'll keep an eye out for them.
