Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

I purchased a floor model from Mars Music shortly before they went belly up.
I have no idea what abuse they took for how long, so my experience is
objectively useless. My kick pad failed early on, which was common with the
first edition. I believe I have the second edition of the DTXpressI, but I
am not sure how to be sure. The mystery component to me is the FSR which
appeared intact as far as solder and connector are concerned. I wonder if
this part is vulnerable to wear or failure. If so- failure would likely be
common to all brands.

This of course raises the question of how long the various parts of the kits
are lasting on average? Roland in the UK offer a three year warranty with
their products (although Roland operate a pan European dealership agreement
this warranty is just for UK bought equipment.) Of course we pay far more
for everything here to start with so they aren't being that generous but it
seems to hint that most items made by Roland at least stand a fair chance of
surviving three years. I just looked all over the Yamaha site but couldn't
see any mention of warranty at all so I'm assuming in the UK it is the
standard one year. Hart offer a lifetime guarantee So how old were all these
broken bits that are appearing on the list - older than three years?
