Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Then some more theory here...

Couldn't the barpad go (via a custom cable) to the 2 'rim' parts of 
the ride input (assuming that it is capable of handling the 3 zone 
pad just like the new snare pad of the DTXpress (like the manual 
says))?

So as discussed before, 
it appears that the 3 zone inputs (#2, 6 and 7)can handle 1 piezo 
and 2 FRS per input).  
The rest appear to handle dual zone (1 piezo and 1 FRS per input).
But 9/10 appears to be able to handle either 2 piezo or 2 FRS or one 
of each?  Correct?

Thanks...

Steve
