Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Walt, thanks....If I get what you're saying, with the pm-16, I'd be 
better off keeping the pads connected to the xpress, and just adding 
the extra pads thru the pm-16.Is this correct?
How does this system deal with crosstalk? The trouble I had when 
trying to use a TD-5  for my extra pads, is that the pads connected to 
xpress, and the pads connected to TD-5 would cross-talk, and with no 
interface between them, it was uncontrolable, except with threshold(or 
mounting on separate rack). Any ideas?
Thanks   Scott
