Brett,

I had heard some time ago--in the DTXpressI days--that the ddrum 
triggers were problematical with the Yamaha module. Recently, 
however, someone told me that the redshot series appears to have no 
trouble with the DTXpressII module. I can't vouch for the higher-end 
version. In Clavia's own words: 

"ddrum Triggers are designed to work with ddrumAT, ddrum3 and ddrum4 
sound modules. They may also work with other brands, but the 
functionality cannot be guaranteed. Some drum modules have problems 
detecting the trig signal from ddrum Triggers. If you want to try 
anyway, it important to know that Pin 2 is hot and Pin 1 is shield on 
the ddrum Triggers. Some microphone cables have Pin 3 hot and some 
drum modules may be designed according to this."
