Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

I'm confused about your last statement that the "ride is a true dual-
zone, requiring two inputs."  My current ride has a mono jack, but 
my book says that it's a stereo input.  Therefore, I should be able 
to put a stereo jack into it.  Is there power considerations when 
you have true, two piezos?  Whereas the snare (TP65S) is a three 
zone, but two are more or less switches with only 1 peizo.

I have Pintech Dingbats on channels 9 and 10 for the Bell and a cow 
bell/woodblock.  Do I have to remove one of these for one of the 
cymbal inputs? 

What do I do if I need more inputs?  "Magic Box"?  2nd brain?  MIDI 
input?
