                         I know exactly what U mean,I bought an 
extra tom I was constantly moving things around for two days I was 
not happy with the positioning,once I moved it I was getting cross 
talk from other pads,it can be a headache but if you are willing to 
persevere and take the time to MAKE it right,then its well worth 
it,I have also added a Roland SPD-6,which gave off some bad 
crosstalk,but thats all sorted now.And soon I`m gonna add another 
Cymbal and thats my FINAL upgrade on the kit.......UNLESS!!!!!!
