Rich,

Yamaha originially said if the DtxpressIII/IIIsp and the Dtxtreme IIS 
were selling like hot cakes, that the sale of individual components 
would be delayed. Folks in the Asian market who got the first crack 
at the Dtxpress III/IIIsp back in Nov. 2003, also got first crack at 
the extra cymbal pads in the time frame between then and the release 
here. From what I can tell the kits are being sold as quickly as they 
come in. So you may have to wait it out.

Drumbalaya had some PCY150S and PCY130S in stock a few weeks back, I 
don't know if they still have any left. I saw one other site that 
advertised the PCY130S, but they were not in stock for immediate 
shipment. 

Ed Morin is a member here, maybe he can update us on the available 
issues at his site. Have not seen anybody advertising the PCY130 yet 
though.
