OGD, what purpose could the jumper have? Maybe the PCY65S was 
truncated so that the "three-zones" could be saved for later, meaning 
the introduction of the XtremeII. The three-zone snare was not an 
issue because the XtremeII wouldn't have used it. But if Yamaha's 
upgraded cymbal was merely going to be their usual gum-rubber with an 
extra FSR-triggered voice, they may have decided to withhold it for 
the more expensive kit. By now, however, all of that could have 
changed. Just random thoughts. ultimately to no end.
