Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Thanks Stewart and Ed for the responses!  I've checked out the site many times before, and in fact, I've made a couple home made Remo practice pad/E-drum conversions and they work well.  I want to do something similar to Judes' conversion.  I am running on assumption at this point, and haven't really heard, but are the ddrum triggers fairly reliable triggers to use with the dtx2 brains?  I think that, above all else, is my biggest concern.

Brett,

It's not that difficult to do but takes some ingenuity to do well. 
Check out http://www.electronicdrums.com/. The conversion designs 
cost a small fee to access, but membership gets you a small 
conversion packet with piezos and such, as well as step by step 
instructions for a number of different options. As Stewart reports, 
Jude's conversion is right out in the open for all to see, both on 
his website and at the edrumming and vdrums .com sites.
