Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

I find the rubber pads to be very responsive as far as getting good 
bounce out my sticks.  good hand technique, a loose grip, and the 
right sticks go along ways into helping produce multiple hits with 
one stick during one stroke.

As far as the bass tower is concerned, i found the i was 
inadvertantly getting multiple hits on the tower without even trying 
until i adjusted the tension on my pedal, and adjusted the 
sensitivity of the tower itself.  again, good technique and a loose, 
relaxed foot go along way towards getting the kind of responses your 
looking for.

Everyone's style will be different, and there is no right or wrong 
way to acheive what your looking for, it's just what is comfortable 
for you.
