Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Sorry guys for posting so much, but I got nowhere else to turn.

So, I got my hands on an old pearl bass drum. I plan to re-cover it 
in a funky orange satin flame design.

I've been looking at mesh heads for bass drums. I found some large 
enough to fit my new drum.

Now, to get it wired for electric, I just need a trigger, right?

Since my kit is Yamaha, I can find the DT-10 and DT-20 triggers. 
Will these do what I'm looking for? Am I missing something?

So, I'll just run my standard DTX I kit with a modified bass drum 
thrown underneath for looks.

Am I totally off?

Have you considered just placing the kick drum shell in front of your
trigger? If it's just for looks, and you're happy with the feel of your
existing electronic kick pedal, this would allow the flexability of using
the big kick in front of your kit for "looks" when the venue/stage
permits, but using just the electronic kick tower when you dont have the
room of time to move the big kick... Just a though.. :)

Thanks to all of you who answered my posts. 

To Vern; I have thought about just putting a drum in front of my 
kit. I haven't tried it yet, but I thought it might look a little 
far out. But I will try that as my first option.

About the wires, 
Gunny's kit is a beauty, isn't it? It seems you've put a lot of 
thought, time and care into it. It inspires my to get on the ball. 
Thanks for the wake up call.

Once I get this worked out, I'll post a pic of my kit. 

Thanks again everyone,
