Gordon,

Thanks for sharing your picks.

The great thing about having two complete kits are all the extra 
tubes and clamps that can be used to create a flexible and sturdy 
frame for all those pads.

My kit uses just the two basic frames for all my pads. I did add 
some gilbrator clamps/cymbal arms, only because the supply of the 
Yamaha CYAT80 fizzled out. I also replaced all of the rack clamps 
for my cymbals with the gilbrator multi-clamps. This allows me to 
freely move the cymbals without having to complete disassemble the 
whole rack.

I did alot of shifting and moving to get the kit to where it is 
today. I really dread the day when I end up adding the fourth module 
and some new cymbals and hihat from the DtxpressIII line.

A Barpad BP80 can be used for inc/dec kit numbers as well. I got it 
to work fine when I first started out with just two modules, but 
with adding the third module, I could never get it to work. I had 
wanted it to work so that by hitting the left pad it would dec. and 
hitting the right pad it would inc. and send the midi signal to the 
other two modules and get them to change as well.
