Are they different?

The IIIS cymbal pads are the new, round ones with the 3-zone 
crash/ride. The tom and snare pads are identical.

OK, cool.   Do the pie shaped cymbals that come with the II have a 
separate bow and edge sound? 


***I'm shopping for my first ekit at this time.  I've played A drums 
for a few years, but not in the last 9 years or so because of their 
loud volume and that I've been living in apartments.  

I played a II in a store the other day.  I liked the feel of the 
Yamaha rubber pads pretty much.   I liked them more than the feel of 
the Roland pads from a TD3 kit I tried before (which would be the 
same as their TD6 V-Tour pads.)  I thought the Roland ones didn't 
have enough rebound like an A drum has.

Tom,

The II comes with two cymbal pad types, the PCY65 (mono pad with bow 
only) and the PCY65S (Stereo pad with bow and edge sound).

==================

OK.  It comes with one of each.    Unless I"m mistaken, the module 
on the II and IIS is the same, so I'll assume the II kit cymbals can 
be upgraded to IIS types.   I would consider that a nice plus to 
have that upgrade potential for the future.

Tom, 

In the Dtxpress Line there are only three module types, the I, II , 
III(sp). The module for the III and III(SP) are the exact same thing. 
The new PCY150S, PCY130S, PCY130 and the RHH130 can all be used with 
the II  and III modules. They can also be used with the I module, 
except that with the PCY150S you will only get the bow and edge to 
trigger and not the bell, as the I module does not have any 3 zone 
stereo inputs. Only the II and III/IIISP modules have 3 zone stereo 
inputs, which are inputs 2, 6 & 7 only. Inputs 1,3,4,5 and 8 are 
stereo inputs (two zones, pad and rim) and inputs 9 and 10 are mono 
inputs (single zone).
