Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Piezo's and FSR's are not the same.  FSR stands for Force Sensitive 
Resistor which operates pretty much as described in its name.  Piezo 
crystals actually generate a small amount of voltage in response to 
pressure that is applied to them.  If you have a pad that has both a 
piezo in the center and an FSR strip around the rim, then you 
definitely need a stereo cable to convey these two signals back to 
the drum module.

Hope this helps,

Ed
