In terms of linking two modules, I think you have three choices:

1. Brain 1 out into brain 2 aux input as a crude "mixer".
2. Brains 1 and 2 into two channels on an audio mixer.

With both of these options, each brain is responsible for its own 
sounds and you'd need to select the correct kit on each brain 
manually to get the "pair" in synch.

3. Brain 1 MIDI into brain 2. Here brain 1 is just acting as a 
trigger to MIDI converter, and brain 2 is responsible for the sound. 
Another way to do this is get a trigger-to-MIDI converter like the 
Roland TMC-6 or PM-16 (the latter is obsolete) or something.

I don't think there's any way to "intelligently" link together two 
DTXpress brains so they work as one. It would be nice because you're 
right, you can pick up used mk1 DTExpress brains quite cheaply.
