Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Hi,
Due to the low price of this drums, what interest me
is if they can be used with my dtxpress module :P, I
mean for 99 dlls I'd be happy to buy the kit take the
two pads that I can add, to the module and sell the
rest of it.

But I can't spend the money just to try my luck, I got
a mortage to pay, and I also have to buy my wife a
nice present for letting me buy the kit :D

So anyone who feels like experimenting with this
please share your findings.

Pedro.
