First of all: I think I was wrong calling "rimshot sound" the sound I 
tried to avoid while I play ...I think its real name is "cross stick 
sound" !!(http://www.drumcentral.com/electronic_drum_sets_18.htm)
For this misunderstanding, all the tips you gave me for help are 
useless..so gimme them again :-P

You say "connecting the DM5 to DTXpress AUX input":it seems 
interesting, as a beginning..
So..let's suppose I have the adapter: I connect both DM5's outputs to 
Yamaha's aux input, and my snarepad output jack to DM5 input...AND 
THEN?!?
Can you tell me (step by step,of course..) what I should select in 
dtxpress module to be able, at last, to hear in my headphones:
- snare and 3rd homemade cymbal connected to DM5;
- all other pads connected to DTXpress.
Wow, I'm exciting!!!If you say this is possible with an accettable 
quality (I must only play live, and not record anything, at the 
moment),I think I'm approaching to what I looked for!!!
Thanks,
