Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Also, don't limit your thinking on zones 9/10. If you just leave all your
current pads on the zones that they are setup for, then you just have two
single zone inputs to play with (9/10).

On the other hand, you should remember that pads connected to zones
1(KP65),3(TP-65),4(TP-65),5(TP-65),6(PCY-65) are all single zone pads that
are connected to stereo zones no 1,3,4,5 and to a stereo 3-zone no. 6. 

By moving your single zone toms 2 and 3 to the zones 9/10, you open up two
stereo zones 4 & 5 that can be used with stereo cymbals like the PCY65S.

You could also, move the single zone pads tom4(zone 5) and the ride(zone6)
to zones 9/10 and open up a stereo input (bow/edge)  to put a PCY65S and a
stereo 3-zone (bow/edge/cup) which you could put one of the new PCY150 3zone
cymbals to be released here the first of next year.

You can also use one of Stewart's tricks: if you what two crashes, one on
the left side, one on the right side that can have the same sound
assignment, they can be connected to just one zone. For example, you could
take two PCY65S and add a stereo splitter cable and connect them to zone 7
and they will both work (bow,edge w/choking).
