Well, what I do is, as I have a single-zone snare mesh pad, is plant that 
thing where the acoustic snare normally goes and swing the 3-zone snare pad 
outward and use that as my second snare when I'm playing.  This means for the 
default kits, I play reverse-open-handed, but on the programmed kits, I can 
play open-handed or not and have two snares, not something I can do  on the 
default kits unless I go through the trouble of reprogramming input 9 
everytime I switch kits.  I prefer the programmed kits I make, anyway.
