Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

I have the original DTXpress, but I think the answer is the same. All 
inputs, except 9/10, have rim switches. So two sounds are 
possible(three on the DTx II). On mine, no sounds were assigned to the 
kick rim. 
I think the reason for this is that, If you need an extra multi-zone 
input, you can plug the kick into the 9/10(which are mono inputs), and 
free up a 2 (3_) zone input.
OR, if you used a two or three zone pad for kick, you cuuld, with 
another pedal, access a foot-played cowbell, tambourine or soun effect 
etc.
The possibilities are almost endless.I've had mine over two years and 
still find new and different ways to do stuff!!!
