Yoav,

If you're getting the dual-zone version, you'll need a TRS splitter 
to for the Pintech's male stereo output and two mono cables for, 
presumably, input 2 (body) and 9 or 10 (rim); the other option is one 
stereo cable for 9/10 (both rim and body). That should do it. You'll 
have to tinker with the pad type and other trigger settings; we can 
help if you need us. The other consideration is how you're going to 
mount it. The Xpress rod and clamp--appropriately turned for the 
Pintech's orientation, will, in principle, do the job, but it remains 
to be seen whether you'll be satisfied; if I recall, you'd have to 
pull the rack arm toward you a little more. It's not inconceivable 
that you might try a separate stand, which would have the advantage 
of opening up your trigger settings.
