Exhumus:
Seems in the past few days Yamaha released their new top end module along with new pad technology.

Yes they did. I think they look pretty darn good too! As soon as my local Guitar Center gets them in, I'm definitely going to the store to try them out. Won't be buying however. Too much for my blood (plus I'm still unlocking what I can do with my DM10  ;D).

Yep. Still very happy with my DTXpress IV purchase as well - the only thing that'd ruin my day would be seeing the Xtreme III's popping up second hand in a similar price range to what I paid for a new Xpress.

It's interesting that like Roland Yamaha have decided to keep basically the same module and just tweek slightly under the hood and give it a new look. Fortunately for DTXtreme III users a firmware update will be available that will effectively make it equivalent to a DTX900 - adding pad compatibility and some other tweaks.

I wouldn't worry about that. I don't think that is going to happen. I would like to point out that there is talk over at DTXperience that there should be an announcement regarding their DTXPRESS line sometime in the near future too. I think they will be incorporating there new pads into the kit.

Yep, I noticed that to. I even made a comment over at eDf about the same thing. I think it is a win for current owners however. They will be able to upgrade their pads and upgrade the firmware of their modules and basically have a new kit.

WOUND4SOUND:
is this still a reflection plate design phil? or is it a whole new concept with the silicon cell?
