I must be one lucky SOB because I have a second generation DTXpress
with a KP 60 and it works just fine.  Early on, I had a bout with
dropped triggers, but I changed beaters and adjusted the sensitivity
and polarity on the KP 60, and it hasn't burped since!  I found that
the KP 60 responds better to a certain shape beater and that the pad
has a "sweet spot."  Center your beater in that spot, and BAM, every
time.
