Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Looking at the site, I'm sure you'll be okay.

The give-aways are "switching technology" and "choke"

Both of those require an FSR, which is what the Yamaha pads use.

For the mount- it depends what size l-rod they're using. If it's a 12 mm
(DW), it should be fine.  If it's a 10.5 mm (Ludwig, Tama, Premier), it
may be a bit tight.
