Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Daniel,

Welcome. Go to the photo section under "Inside the dtx". I have taken apart
and photographed most of the pads and module for an inside view of the bits
and pieces.
The main sound comes from a piezo. The rim sound comes from the ribbon
switch. They are both visible in the photos.
