Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Hi Ed , i sent a e-mail to yamaha and look the reply : "The toe stop 
is an OLD part that last appeared on our FP-910, about 10 years ago.  
IT WILL NOT WORK on your pedal.  Your pedal is not designed to accept 
a toe stop.  There is no place to mount one"
in fact there is a place to mount one but they don't sell anymore 
this piece... after see this un-professional attitude i build my own 
one with a mix of different part of different toes stop....
thank's anyway ;-)
