Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Ed,

I'm not a double bassist, so my interest is purely academic. But the 
idea sounds great; not until recently did I realize that the planet 
had so many e-drummers with two kick pedals. My 2 cents is that one 
of the advantages of electronics is that something like a hat-drop 
tool could go anywhere, in any form, on the rack. You could reserve 
the "lever" for the Visu-lite. At any rate, it would seem to be yet 
another feather in Drumabalaya's cap, whatever its incarnation.
