Jade,

You'd do it through a MIDI hookup. The first step would be to 
transfer sounds from the DTX module to the TMC-6's individual inputs 
(with the pads connected to them) via MIDI-in, probably by hitting 
pads on your kit that have voices saved to particular user note 
numbers, which the TMC-6 can store.  From that point on, until you 
change it, the TMC-6 uses each of those note numbers/inputs to 
access your selected voice (or voices, if the input is stereo) in 
the DTX via MIDI-out whenever the appropriate pad is hit. Once 
you've programmed the sounds, you set up the triggering functions on 
the TMC-6 (gain etc) to your liking. Voila, now you can play. The 
TMC-6 functions like an intermediary, an electronic drum broker, 
between the extra pads and the DTX module, which supplies the 
sounds. Those are the nuts and bolts of a MIDI interface. The 
details of how the TMC-6 accomplishes its job will have to be 
between you and the manual.
