Does anyone know if its possible to program a pad so
that when you hit it a different kit is selected? Any
help will be appreciated.

Thanks

here's an easy description of examples of how to do this from the 
dtxpressions site..

OK. You're in a progressive art rock band. You're playing a seventeen 
minute epic. You need to have a completely different sound mid-song. 
How do you do it? Easy. Reserve a pad as the kit switcher, then 
change the function of that pad to either inc drumkit or dec drumkit. 
You can then hit that pad and your entire setup will change to the 
next kit up or down. If you're really clever you can also switch to 
any kit, say from 80 to 66 by using a Program Change controller on 
Channel 10 followed by the number of the kit. You can find this on 
the UT MIDI PC TABLE screen (or section 2-4 in the Reference Manual)

and they have this on there as well

Even better - set a pad to inc drumkit in one kit and use the *same* 
pad as dec drumkit in the other kit. That way you can switch between 
kits and back again. (Thanks to Andy for this one.) 

you can find alot more cool things that you can do with your dtxpress 
as well by going to this site
