Hi Lucho,

Benvenuto. You cannot download new samples into the DTXpress module. 
But you can use the DTXpress to trigger samples held elsewhere via 
MIDI (which is a waste of the module). If you can wait, we are 
currently working on a supplement to Yamaha's user guide that will 
answer many common, and some not so common, questions. In the 
meantime, consult the archives, or keep asking us questions on the 
board. I'll let someone else help you with sounding like Lars Ulrich.

I use the DTXpress kit to trigger sounds from a Yamaha A3000 sampler and 
a Kawai XD-5 Drum synth (as well as some sounds from the DTXpress 
module, of course)
The sheer quantity and quality of sounds available to a sampler is quite 
worth it! You can pick up some older samplers that are easy to use like 
an old Ensoniq EPS16M or a Roland S550 for a few hundred or so bucks and 
start buying sampleCDs from you local shop.

Slipknot fat drum sounds??? The few songs I heard from them, the drums 
were REALLY thin and cracking... And what's with Lars snare sound on the 
new Metallica album? Sounds like a Pearl Export snare in an oil drum 
recorded in a shower stall..

Gimme the kick and snare from When The Levy Breaks (Led Zep.) or 
Intruder (Peter Gabriel) with the cymbals from the early Kinks, and the 
toms from Beautiful People (M.Manson)

It may be benificail for you to pick up a general guide to MIDI and the 
ins and outs of it... (pun intended) Craig Anderton had some out back a 
long time ago... It would really help you out when it comes to stacking 
multiple sounds and modules together to form the kit of your wettest dreams.

Say, you don't fancy writing me a few words on how to set that up 
for the "Drumb and Drumber" guide I'm pulling together, do you? It 
would be very, very much appreciated. There is no reward, other than 
that which comes in e-Heaven.
