I have owned a DTX express for the last 5 years and was happy with it up until the Sydney Edrum expo and had a go of the Roland TD20.
The TD20 was so superior to the the DTXpress in the way it played and sounded I now have one in my lounge room.
The DTXpress will now be my daughters drum kit as she is learning.
I will try and use some of the dual trigger pads of the DTXpress for triggering interesting sounds but that is about it.
The TD20 is so much like a real kit with far more options I was gob smacked that I had played the DTxpress for as long as I did.
But then again they are chalk and cheese in price as well.

Using the DTXpress pads through the Roland TD-20 is a little--no, a
lot--like trying to put an elephant in a birdcage. To be brief, the
TD-20 has many features that pertain to the cymbals and mesh pads
that Roland designed for it, or at least cymbals and pads that take
these features into account like Pintech's new TE-2. The hi hat flat-
out won't work. I believe that the ddrum triggers will work through
the module, but so what? The TD-10 presents many of the same
obstacles, only in a slightly less expensive form.
If you can afford the TD-20, I'd serously consider scrapping
everything that you have now and starting again. If the entire Roland
kit cost too much for you, or is too hard to get, maybe we can come
up with alternatives. My point is that if you have money to invest in
new e-drum components, randomly mixing different components by
different manufacturers, at different price points, and with
incongruous features will result in unsatisfactory performance.
Also, what did you use to muffle your mesh heads to get better
triggering with the ddrum redshots through the DTXpress? And what
kind of mesh heads were they?
