Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

I knew I could count on responses from you all, thank
you so much for taking the time to help me out.  Sorry
it took a day to respond to your responses, but family
was in town, and I want to see my brothers family
before they grow up to be too old to be loved on.

Anyways...I'm definitely going the route of adding
more pads and parts to my rack, and I've really gotten
to like the DTX2.  Purchasing another kit is pricey,
but more pads, rack parts, and another brain seems to
be gotten through another whole kit.

I think a mixer would be a good purchase for the
linkage, now that mixers can be gotten for a fairly
cheap price.  However, if I decide to just connect the
two brains together via MIDI, I hope it isn't too
complex.  After spending most of my day in a
garage/classroom taking on a new career direction, my
head swims with tons of information and using a
can-opener even seems to be too difficult of a task. 
:)

If anyone else cares to chime in with their ideas, I'd
love to hear them.  Thanks again, all.  Until we meet
up again...
