Hi Jon,

Mixing brands is a wonderful idea--when it works, and it usually 
does. But Yamaha modules are the toughest match in captivity for 
alternative-brand components. Roland pads are generally okay with the 
Yamaha module, but trying before buying is recommended, unless people 
at this forum, or others, can endorse the product in question. I 
assume that your Roland is a mesh head. Most likely you can find a 
pad type in the trigger menu for it (maybe DT10/20).
