People have reported problems using the redshots and the DTXpress 
module, especially on the kick, both here and at the ddrum forum. 
Have you tried the DT10/20 pad-type settings in the trigger mode and 
trigger setup, and have you flipped the DIP switches on the back of 
the module to the high positions (use a pen or pin; they're tiny). We 
don't know anything about how the DTXtreme IIS module will respond to 
particular pads at this point, though chances are that it will be 
more versatile than the DTXpress II. I'd try new triggers and exhaust 
setting possiblilities in the module that you have now before I went 
out and spent 1,000 on a new module that might not solve your problem 
any better--unless, of course, you'd just like to have a better 
module in principle.
