Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

It doesn't have to be a pad song per se, I just figured that would be 
the only way to do it. The idea is to have a bass figure that would 
play one note every time you hit the kick, so it would sound like a 
bass player playing in unison with your kick. 

I  could've sworn the original DTXpress had a drumkit that did that, 
so I thought there'd be a way to do it with the DTXII. 

Thanks for the info!
