Steve,
 
You can run pads leads out to more than one module. You can also run pads
into multiple inputs on the same module, but the rejection settings have to
be played with. The only issue I ever ran across using multiple modules was
the crosstriggering  issue.

[Edited]

Hi, I'm thinking of some creative routing and connection options...

I have a DTXpress I pad set with extra cymbal and drum pads, dual & 
single trigger. I'll likely get more pads... I also have three drum 
modules, the DTXpress I, DTXpress III, and an Alesis DM Pro module.

I was thinking about using all three drum modules for 
selected/prefered drum and cymbal sounds, then routing the various 
selected outputs into my mixer. 
Obviously with multiple modules I can run individual drum sounds out 
for treatment of say the snare, for added FX's. And now I'll have 
the capability to run a single drum sound into a recorded track. 

With what I have I figure I can have about seven different cymbal 
sounds. Maybe even alternate Hi-Hats and extra toms etc...

As for the snare I was thinking of even putting a "Y" adapter and 
split the pads triggered signal to two modules to combine sounds, 
similar to layering sounds in one module.
I thought about even using a selector switch somewhere convenient to 
route, say the snare pad from one module to another independently, 
and I could do this with other pads as well. This would be similar 
to a patchbay, without having to plug and unplug cords. In fact, I 
could make a Patchbay multi-selector switch box to route selected 
pads that I may want to switch between the modules.

Not sure which module will control wich cymbal or drum pad at this 
point. But I figure the DTXpress I module has the least impressive 
cymbal samples...?

Any of your own thoughts or problems with my thought? This may be 
interesting to hear some other idea's.

Steve
