Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Hi Ben,

The 65S and 80S are the same size, but the former has the capacity 
for three sounds (body and two rims) and the latter only two (body 
and rim). Since your original DTXPU module can't accommodate three- 
sound pads, the 65S would seem to be overkill, except for the fact 
that it lists for considerably less money than the 80s. You might 
want to buy it and use it at 2/3 capacity for that reason alone. The 
two PCY-S versions are basically the same stereo cymbals with 
choking. The 65-S has a new texture. Both should work with your 
module. I know that Drum Central Superstore sells them with cables 
included. The policy may vary from store to store. Your old mono 
pads can go into 9/10 with a splitter.

Perhaps with
