This is way too broad a topic to answer in complete detail. You
already must know that the module has a single extra input (9/10)
that allows you to add two single-zone pads via a TRS splitter or one
dual-zone pad (not to be confused with the rubber stereo pads that
came with your set). You can also swap two of your single-zone toms
to 9/10 with a splitter to give you other opportunities for stereo
pads in the toms' vacated inputs (any two of 3, 4, and 5).

Beyond that, you can expand your inputs by adding a second module of
your choice and using a mixer or the aux input on one of the modules
to link them together; by getting a trigger to MIDI interface, which
expands inputs via MIDI, drawing its sounds from the original module;
or by waiting for member Keith Raper's so-called magic box, which
splits stereo inputs (heretofore unprecedented) to be offered for
sale. Search our archives under such topics as dual-zone pads, stereo
pads, TRS splitter, mixer, trigger-to-MIDI device, and magic box for
basic information. Then come back with more specific questions.
