Thanks for the information. Bill helped me out with Musicians Friend online. They actually have the Yamaha T-Bar, it looks similar to the Pintech cymbal bars but has dual triggers. I wonder how much hardware comes with it? Or how would it mount to the RS80 Rack?
If any one has one let me know.
Thanks,
Scott

Try www.edrums.com
This is the Pintech web site and I'm sure they do a T-bar trigger unit.
Yamaha must sell one to because they mention it in the manuals when talking
about inputs 9/10 and increase/decrease kit numbers options.
Hope that helps.
