best way to expand?

2005-03-15 by deanerdrummer

I have a dtx3 with added mono pads already in outputs 9/10. I am considering 
buying the RHH130 hihat. I want to then use the old hihat pad as a second 
floor tom and eventually add even more pads (possibly the new round cymbal 
pads). What is the best route for doing this since my existing module is filled 
up? Should I purchase another dtx brain?

OR

It may be cheaper in the long run to just get a second dtx kit and marry them 
together. I am considering this as well. 

Either way, I have gathered from reading other posts that I would need to run 
both brains through a mixer and then to an amp. Correct? Or can the brains 
be piggybacked off one another without the need for a mixer?

How many of you use a second dtx brain? It seems in the photo section I only 
see one brain on the kits. Yet the kits have a multitude of pads. I am very 
much a novice on this subject and would appreciate any feedback you can 
give me in "simple" terms.

Thanks much
