Steve,

Which version of Cubase are you using?  If you have SX and a 
multi-port midi intreface, you can choose an independent midi 
input for each MIDI Track.  You can simply record enable 2 
tracks, each channel 10, but coming from and going to their own 
MIDI port on the interface (disable midi thru or turn DTX Local 
Off).  

If you are using only one midi input to your computer such as 
found on a built-in sound card, you will need to set the cables as 
you mentioned (again with Cubase' midi thru off or DTX local off) 
and just record all the notes onto one track.  You might find that 
the 'doubling-up' effect I mentioned in answer to your last  
question may be a problem when looking at the edit windows.  
What'll happen is Cubase won't know which note #'s came from 
which "kit".  If you want maximum flexibility when editing your 
parts then I would try to set one of the modules to send on a 
different midi channel (other than 10, negating any "doubles").  
Set up one midi track with its channel setting set to "Any" 
allowing it to 'listen' to both kits.  You can separate the kits after 
you record with the "Dissolve Track" midi command.

If you need to record midi with doubled notes you can, but realize 
when you play that track back ALL notes will be doubled!  Not just 
the ones played from the OUT module.  If doubles are crucial to 
your sound it is better just to record your performance as audio if 
that's an option.

Hope these answers are helpful, happy e-drumming!
