Yeah the DTX (if that's the one with the sliders vs rackmount brain) 
has aux outs so you can assign and pan kick on one snare on another 
then toms on one and cymbals to the last one... pretty much the ONLY 
way to really record "live" e-drums.

Alternately I'm thinking about tracking midi (I'm getting an xpress 
III soon) and then just muting the other parts when it's time to dump 
down to audio... so just kick and snare one pass then go back and do 
toms and hats then maybe even another pass for ride and cymbals... 
does anyone see a problem with doing that? latency or anything... 
seems like it should work but I haven't recieved my set yet to try it 
out!

I wish the phones out could double as an aux out... damn cheap a$$'s, 
honestly how are you really to use this thing in a live situation... 
granted I'm actually a sound engineer by trade so I want indivual 
control over everything but still... you need everything seperate... 
how can you do reverb tricks with toms and such... I would just be 
pissed if my drummer was getting an xpress and taking away all my 
cool snare rever tricks and special effects!

Hope that helps, sorry for the rant ;)
