Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Ok, can anyone explain to me  how a
Force Sensing Resistor and/or condensor(=capacitor??) is used for the rim of
a drum pad?

There are plenty of places on the web where you can find how to wire a
single
peizoelectric transducer to a drum module to make your own pads. However,
no one seems to know how to make your own pad/rim type pad.

Anyone taken one apart?
