Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

I'm not sure if this is what moose it talking about, but what about 
one of those badges you would place on a real acoustic head?  I 
think are meant for practicing quitely but with an electronic pad 
you can adjust the gain and sensitivity to obtain a comfortable 
striking strength, maybe even with one of those badges.  Ok I looked 
them up at musiciansfriend.com and they by slug percussion and are 
meant to protect your head, hmmm, so maybe this would work if we 
could find the appropiate size.  Go to musiciansfriend.com and 
search for "bass drum badge."
