Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Hey ED, 

Thx a lot 4 the fast response! 8>)

Is there any known problems using these Roland CY6 Cymbals with the 
DTXPRESS 1? Or is it just a matter of tweaking the settings?
I hope its the later, I got these 2 Roland cy6's dirt cheap on ebay 
120.00 shipped for the pair. The guy was really cool, there mint.

I found where to COPY a pads parameters, although it doesnt take even 
though its says COMPLETE!.  The pad I copy to still remains the same.
