Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Hi Guys,

I have spoken to Koby again and i was thinking about using one of his 
cymbals for the hi hat .
I know its not stereo but should give a more realistic feel ,I'm 
assuming that the existing pad being mono that the new cymbal should 
bolt straight on in its place is this correct.
I have also seen his mesh head pads and they are lovely.
I want to upgrade the snare to a mesh head and koby say that the 
snare uses i input for the skin and you split 9/10 and run the rim 
through either input. ? Is this correct.
If so it looks like i will be looking for a midi device to expand 
more trigger inputs and ive only had the kit 2 weeks.

Regards as always Lee.
