Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Well thanks to everyone that has replied.  It looks likes duck tape, a
cut up mouse pad, and paying attention to my playing habits and
possible sensitivity adjustment will solve the problem.  The patch
from a mouse pad really sounds like a great idea, as I can already see
 some chafing on the kick rubber from the felt beater and I can see
where it will dampen the bounce.

I'll let you all know how it turns out.
