It's been a *while* since I've seen one of those (2007 maybe?) but if I recall, everything trigger input was single zone... meaning technically *all* Yamaha DTX pads and cymbals will (should) work, but only the 1 zone of each.
I don't even have a display kit that's all single zone; even the DTX402 (which uses minipin connectors, not 1/4", is still TRS... one of the cymbals is chokeable, and you can optionally use a 3 zone snare; likely 2 or 3 zones is a possibility with all of it's triggers. But in a nutshell, I think any Yamaha pads (that aren't the new 2 zone mesh or tcs) will work; even the new ones might work but their velocity curve might be all over the place.
The DTXpro (that comes with the DTX6k's) is so far ahead of the DTxpress II that I'd normally recommend upgrading that over the pads; but since your pads are all single zone, you might as well upgrade the entire kit: a DTX6kx is currently $1149 CAD/$999 USD and *so* far beyond the xpress ii...
