this.

Yamaha make a stereo version of the DTXpress mono pad and "cymbals". I 
am using a stereo snare (for rim shots) and a stereo cymbal (2 x 
crash, or crash/china etc, which can be choked). Even some of the 
preset kits are set up or this on the DTXpress. Just replace the mono 
pad with the stereo one. The shop where I bought the DTXpress was 
happy to make the substitution, and the extra cost was minimal.
