Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Thanks for the reply. I believe that the HatKat will work. It has 
3 inputs Trigger, Switch and Control. I will let you know about the 
Accusnare. The response on it is phenomenal. Buzz rolls, double 
strokes, dynamics are fantastic. Much better than the pintech mesh 
pad or a rubber pad. I read that the Snare output on the DTXpress is 
for a membrane type pad, that you should use output 9/10 for a non-
membrane type pad/trigger. 
    The TubeWorks bass head has a Tube/F.E.T switch. I don't know if 
it emulates tubes or if it has tubes. All I can say is that it takes 
2 rack spaces and is HEAVY.
    If the DTXpress is as nice as I think it is, I will use it for my 
main kit and the DM5 for percussion and effects with a Hart Pad.
    By the way. Try an Aphex Aural Exciter w/Big Bottom.
