Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Hi, all. Just a short note re TP80S. I have really disparaged this pad 
on this forum. I recently decided to try again. I got one at guitar 
center for less than 30 bucks. It works great. I have it hooked to the 
HiHat input.Now I can get a more slightly open sound from the rim, 
just like the edge of real hihats.Well, maybe not "just like". But it 
works great. I also got a PD-7. It too works great. It is a little 
different, but still good.
I also tried the DTXpress II for the first time. WOW. I was quite 
impressed with the response of the 3-zone snare pad. Didn't have to 
coax it at all. It was truly a fine pad.
Now. ... I have been playing the pintech concertcast mesh pad for 
snare. I just got the Pintech ax14. I have not tried it yet.( I have 
to wait till Christmas!!!)I will review as soon as I can. 
I also scored a used Roland TD-5 module on Ebay.Much more limited in 
number of sounds, but it will allow me to expand my kit. I can now 
have rim function on snare without losing the extra cymbal, 
accessory(cowbell, handclap) pad, etc. This is getting good.
