Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Hi people,
Me again.
Ok,u got me convinced, i also admit i have a special love for the 
dtx, it looks so nice (the colors and evrythingh).
Any tips were to buy the dtx online for the best price and with 
reliable international worldwide shipping? 
I supose it comes in a big sets of boxes or not??Any details on the 
zise!And what it contains?Cables,etc..

Also, does anyone know what really makes the sound in the pad (i know 
it has a trigger that goes to the sound module), but what does the 
pad have that triggers the sound, is it a thin metal layer, or wires 
attached in the plastic???

Bye,
Dan
