Hey Brett,
If what you saw is the DTExtreme Module with a ten-piece pad set
including six dual-trigger drum pads, two dual-trigger cymbal
controllers, bass drum controller pad (pedal not included), and hi-
hat pedal control, plus the full rack system for mounting everything
for the same price as the DTXPII, then it seems like a very good
deal. The module is Yamaha's recently discontinued top of the line.
The rubber pads are physically the same as those on the II, except
that the DS10's snare is 2 sounds rather than 3 and it has an
additional floor tom. The kick pad and hi hat are probably the KP80
and HH80, which are, in certain respects, better than those that
come with the II. I'm not sure that the DTXtreme module can handle 3
sounds per rubber pad, but if not, you'll be getting a lot to
compensate. It has a better sequencer, better stacking capabilities,
more user-friendly controls, etc. If you upgrade to mesh head pads
somewhere down the line, it'll even give you positional sensing. If
you want a good rundown of the module, go to the Hart Dynamics
website and click on "modules" in the sidebar on the left.
