You have several options:

1. Run the output of one module into the Aux-in on the front of the second
module, and then use the output of the headphones on the second module to
listen to it all. The problem with this is getting the volume balanced
between the two modules and (I asssume) the output of the music you are
playing to.

2. Run the output of the modules through a small mixer.

3. Use a trigger module like the TMC-6 to connect your addition pads to and
run midi to the first module to trigger sounds in the module. (I have never
used one, but I am sure there are other members here that could help you, if
you go that route.)

I have three DTxpressII modules on my kit. I chose to go the mixer route,
because it gave me better control of the volume levels between my modules
and the music source I was playing to. I could also use the same sounds
across all modules (I have 8 toms, 3 toms on mod. 1, 2 toms on mod. 2 and 3
toms on mod. 3). 

There is a photo of my kit in the photo album under "OldGuyDrummer". All the
pads on the left rack are on module 1, the center is on module 2 and the
right rack is on module 3. This was neccessary to eliminate cross-talk
between the pads.
