Hi Brett, In terms of recreating your acoustic setup with the DTXpress, you lose out in the cymbals. It's not too bad, though, as you can still do 4 toms, snare, hi-hat, and three cymbals (using the splitter on 9/10). You'll need 2 more pads to do this but that's still less $$ than buying a different or additional module. If you had that kind of cash, you probably wouldn't be looking at a DTXpress. There would still be room on the rack for this setup also. I've actually been thinking about splurging on a dual-zone snare to get the rim performance and use my snare pad to add a tom. Pintech has some really good silent pads and cymbals if you're going to add gear to the boxed DTXpress. I think no matter what, you will find that you are compromising something going to e-drums, but you really gain in the flexibility of sounds available and different kits that you can create. I think it liberates me to be able to have so many sounds at my fingertips. Let us know what you end up doing. Later, Rick
