Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

oh right, so there are dual zones, mono pads, stereo triggers, 2 eds, 
a dmpro, a dtx, visu lites, a hart pro snare and tweakin 2 go all 
around..  alrighty then i think that just about covers everything. 
thanks for all your help ed, you've been really kind. 

i'm still not sure whether to get a dmpro or a second dtx module. 
i've seen a second hand dtx pro v2.0 for sale but i've never used one 
before and they are pretty old. failing that there is always the 
option of gettin a new dtxpress II module. i better decide soon or 
i'm gonna go nuts. 

i just wanna clear one other thing up, i havent really considered 
roland as i've heard that they dont work very well with yamaha 
triggers, is that true? or could it be viable to consider a roland 
module as a second module.

thanks again pete
