Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

hello everyone,

does anybody have any ideas on where i might be able to get the 
Ergokik Compact Kick with Inverted Beater (K3) in the UK? just to 
confirm with existing owners or anyone else who has a clue, will this 
pedal allow me to link up my existing dtxpress pedal tower (the one 
supplied with the kit) providing a double base setup using only the 
existing bass drum input. from what i understand this is all possible 
and all that i need to do is to get another pedal, like the Ergokik 
Compact Kick K3, and a patch cable to link both pedals together. also 
im assuming that there is only one type of patch cable (being not 
entirely sure what a patch cable is), if not could somebody please 
specify what type i will be needing & if possible where they can be 
purchased in the UK.

thank you very much for your help, it is much appretiated :)
great group by the way, happy drummin ppl
pete
