Steve,

As the name implies, the "To Host" port needs a host!  Such as a 
computer with the proper serial (or USB these days) driver 
software installed which allows communication only "To the 
Host".  If you want to connect the two together just use a regular 
midi cable from one module's midi OUT to the other's midi IN.  
This allows you to to "double up" when you play on the pads that 
are connected to the OUT module, as they will likely trigger the 
sounds of the IN module since midi channel  10 is the default 
channel for drums.

You may need to change one of these channels in your 
sequencing question, which I will answer now...
