Chat,
 
You cannot add any sounds to any of the Dtxpress I/II/III modules. The
only Yamaha module you can "add" sampled sounds to is the Dtxtreme IIS
module. Using MIDI, you can only trigger sounds that already existing
inside the Dtxpress module. If you trigger notes from another module and
pass them to the Dtxpress module, you will only have the sounds that
already exist inside the module.
 
Going the other direction, if you just using the Dtxpress module as a
triggering device and send the MIDI notes to a second module, the only
sounds that you end up with are sounds that already exists in that
second module you are triggering. As Ed has said, currently the only
module that exists today that you can "add" sounds to are the Dtxtreme
IIs and the DDrum module. 
 
The other option is adding a dedicated sampler or go with a Computer
based software that is triggered from the Dtxpress module.

First of all, thanks for the reply ED.what im trying to do is stay 
with the dtxpress III set itself because of the small size of the 
pads/cymbals. Which I have turned into the special by adding a RHH-130 
and another PCY-65S. They just fit in better with a acoustic kit. The 
module it self is whats in question? What im trying to find out in 
laymen terms is what can I do with midi concerning the dtxpress III. 
Can I download sounds into it or do I need to go with another module 
(dtxtreme II ,alesis dm5,roland td-20,ddrum ect.) and connect the two. 
I really want to use actual acoustic sounds for some venues when I 
play live. I've also upgraded to the roland kd-80 v-drum bass trigger 
and the yamaha rhh-130 hh. So thats another consideration as far as 
compatability goes.

thanks again
