Sounds quite interesting all what you are saying, Brian. It´s really exciting to try different things with our "lovely monsters".
So far, I've only tried to improve the response of my SDS9 kit, using a DTS YAMAHA 70 (It's a drum trigger system with 12 individual inputs / outputs and 2 MIDI IN / OUT and MIDI THRU, quite interesting for its age and very easy to use. I think it's late 80´s). This allows me better control over the dynamics of the pads and prevent crosstalk between sidestick and snare sound.
