Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

I don't have a PD-80R, so I can't answer that one.

The TP65S can physically be used for the hi-hat (I am using a PCY65S for the
hihat), but you will not be able to set it up for three zones, as zone 8
(the hihat pad zone) is only a stereo zone, so you can only set it up for
pad and one rim sound. The hihat pad that comes with the kit TP65 can be
used for a 4th tom. The issue to consider is the total number of zones that
are available on the basic DTXpressII module.

zone 1 - kick  
zone 2 - snare
zone 3 - tom1 
zone 4 - tom2 
zone 5 - tom3
zone 6 - ride
zone 7 - crash
zone 8 - hihat 
zones9/10 - extra (2 trigger, not stereo)

So in your case the easiest way is to move the kick to zone 9, plug the 4th
tom into the input jack on the kick pad (zone 10). Put the extra cymbal on
zone 2 ( so that you get pad/rim/choking) and see if the PD80r will work on
zone 1. You will have to adjust the trigger types and voice assignments, but
it should work. (Assuming the PD80r will work on zone 1.)

p.s. Only zones 2, 6, 7 are three zone inputs. I have both PCY65S and PCY80S
and the PCY65s seem to be more stable than the PCY80s.

Hope this helps, good luck.
