Arg, I just wrote a super-long reply and the "send" button got messed 
up.

Anyways... Thanks very much for your in-depth reply to my question!

I'm a brand new drummer, and since I live in an apartment, I thought 
that I'd look in to purchasing an electronic kit.  I've been testing 
out the DTXPressII at my local music store (they have a demo model) 
and I was frustrated with the fact that I couldn't use the ride 
cymbal to make both a "pingy" bell noise, as well as a 
louder "splash" noise on the same pad.  I just don't want to be 
playing my drums, and then wind up to hit my cymbal, expecting a 
splash and then all I get is a "ping" no matter how hard I hit it, 
you know?

I was unaware that other models don't have this feature, so thanks 
for the info!

I understand that you can stack sounds, I was just wondering if I 
could have 2 completely different sounds play at completely different 
times depending on how hard I hit the cymbal / pad.

Thanks again for your help.
