That would be my suggestion, to add some cymbal variety to your kit without 
giving up your tom pads to the cymbals.  I would suggest getting the PCY65S 
(dual triger cymbals) or get a bell model (I forgot who makes it).

I am very close to purchasing a DTXPRESS II and noticed, after 
searching this forum, that you all have been helpful in answering 
questions regarding expandabillity of the system.  

I wanted to ask you what you think would be the best/easiest way to 
add an extra tom and cymbal to the stock DTXPRESS II system. I would 
like to keep the unit realatively small so I would prefer not to add 
an expansion box or additional trigger module.

I was thinking I could add an extra cymbal (pcy65) and an extra tom 
(tp65) utilizing a split cable into input 9/10. Do you think this 
would work?  Or would you do it differently?

I really appreciate any help you can offer. 

Thanks much!

That will work just fine. Given that you get a PCY65 with the kit, 
you may want to use that and buy a stereo cymbal (PCY65S, or PCY80S) 
to replace it.

Thanks much for your help and suggestions.  I think I will do 
exactly what stewart said.
