They do look like piezos but if you read the text they are Force Sensing Resistors.  What little I know about electronics, if a piezo created 
resistance the harder it was struck,  the sound from the module would decrease the harder you hit the pads.
Also  the end of this FSR looks very similar to what is coming out of the TP65s circuit board picture that OGD posted in 'Photos'..
