I have a friend with that exact same pair.

I use a low frequency square wave to trigger mine.  I feed that 
square wave into a stereo panning delay, giving me the dry signal and 
two sequential delayed signals, or three sequential pulses.  These I 
feed into three of the drum triggers.  Those three voices each 
trigger a partner voice giving me three two-oscillator drum sounds 
rather than six one-oscillator sounds.  It's a little tricky to set 
up rhythms the way I do, but I like it. I can use one voice for the 
noise/attack, and another for the bending tone, for example.

I opened mine up once a while ago before I had any idea what I was 
doing, but I should try taking another look and seeing if I can 
identify what does what.  What sort of tweaks have you done?
