Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

I just got my DTXpress III a few months ago and am loving it so far,
but i am finding myself wanting more pads.. especially cymbals. I see
all these photos of nice cymbals and pad additions, wheres a good
place to buy from that will sell the pads individually? Also, do pads
made from other makes of drums such as Roland for instance mix fine
with the Yamaha DTXpress III? Thanks ahead of time!

In general, the Yamaha pads work best with Yamaha modules.  However,
with a bit of tweaking of the parameters, other pads can be used. 
Sometimes a potentiometer across the pad helps.

You don't say where you are, but in the USA, try Drumbalaya, in
Europe, try Thomann.

For Pintech, you can buy them direct, and that is probably true of
some of the other smaller manufacturers.
