Chris, It's a cool invention. I'm not sure that I agree with you about it being too esoteric for the average (or at least the median) e- drummer. Even if it seems abstruse on the surface, necessity can be the mother of understanding as well as of invention. Drummers on budgets are always lamenting the lack of inputs on their modules. Some shy away from dual-zone mesh pads only because they use up two inputs. Many might view a mesh pad that makes two sounds through one "stereo" input a godsend that's worth a little education and/or DIY. If you ever do put a meter on the Yamahas, let us know (unless of course you ditch love and decide to get some money for your labor). By the way, I'll have to check with OGD, but the DTXTIIS might have the capability of triggering either a second piezo or a switch on inputs 1-6. Maybe you know. Something in the back of my mind says so, but I could be wrong. Ed
