One thing to note about the DtxpressIII, if some of you did not pick 
up on it. The standard version still comes with the PCY65, PCY65S, 
TP65, TP65S, KP65, HH65 just like the DtxpressII. The only 
difference is the new rack RS70 and the updated module.

It is only the DtxpressIIIsp (special version) that comes with the 
new PCY150 (3zone bell/bow/edge), PCY130 (bow), PCY130S (bow/edge), 
RHH130 hihat stereo pad (bow/edge?), HS-650 hihat stand, and the 
RS75 Rack.

The dtxpressII has a trigger setup for the PCY150 so that it should 
work fine on zones 2,6 or 7 giving you bell/bow/edge functions. 
Although there isn't a setting for the Pcy130/PCY130S, I would 
imagine they would work fine with the DtxpressII as well.

The only question of compatiability would be between the RHH130 and 
the DTXpressII module. Although, there is a trigger setting for a 
RHH120. Does anybody know if this was ever a listed Yamaha pad 
type?? 

So, again, like Ed said, If you can wait until Winter Namm, it might 
be worth the wait. 

Hopefully some of our Japanese based members can get there hands on 
the cymbal/hihat pads at the end of November and give us a report on 
them.
