Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

I'm interested in some details I can't seem to find out before I buy.  
What's the diameter of the snare pad?  Can you play a rim shot and 
straight on hit without changing the voice?

Thanks for your help

The same as the tom pads - around 8.5" overall diameter, 7" playing
surface.  I am not sure I understand the second part of your question.
 The built in kits come with the rim programmed up for one voice and
the main pad for another voice (and the cross-stick for another
voice).  You can change these if you want and save the kit.

I suggest instead of getting the Special you should go
for the standard DTXpressIII kit and add on in the
future if u feel like it ..... I just got mine 2 weeks
back .... and Oh BOY !! :) am really satisfied at my
decision.....  I had similar qs in the mind like u
..... to answer your second qs: 

The snare is a 3 zone pad ... u can play rimshot,
accents, ghost notes, cross sticks etc. just in a
style you would play an acoustic snare ....  you would
be surprised how realistic it is ... even though the
normal setups are correct u can even adjust the
sensitivity and velocity of the pads ( i mean how hard
you should hit to have the desired vol etc. ).... the
only thing i miss is the positional sensing .... :( 
...

This is a decent review and description of the package
dimensions and components model numbers:

Go for it ....u would not regret .... and if at all u
can always add a couple of acoustic percussion to it
;)  .....     

regards..
