Hi all,

I have an 18 month old standard DTXpress.  I want to (1) replace the 
now defunct KP60 kick, (2) replace the snare with something with a 
bit more feel (3) add a new cymbal - without going mad on budget...!

- From various postings, Pintech seem to be a good choice for a 
snare - can anyone provide details of models / suppliers in the UK?

- For the kick, I'd obviously like something more reliable - 
preferably one that could accommodate a double pedal.  Does anyone 
know if the DTXpress 2 kick (KP65?) is available separately in the 
UK - or again whether I'd be better off going for (say) Pintech?

- I'd like to recycle the existing snare pad as a ride and add 
another cymbal to give 2 crashes, a ride and a splash - to mirror my 
acoustic set.  I presume splitting the 9/10 input will give me enough 
inputs? 

I'd greatly appreciate any recommendations / advice for models to go 
for (and any rough prices if you know them).

Many thanks,

Pete.
