If you have pads and a drum module laying around, but may not be the same brands....you are in luck! I successfully combined Yamaha and Roland pads and one Avatar pad and hooked them all up to a Yamaha DTX502 module to come up with a great kit that I plan to use for my home practice. You can do this with modules that have individual inputs, but it can work (although I think a bit tougher) with modules that have cable snakes. For drum hardware, my high tom and the snare are mounted to the crash cymbal stand, the mid tom is mounted to the ride cymbal stand, and the low tom is on a snare stand. The high tom, mid tom, and snare pad are all mounted with and tuoren clamps. Hope you enjoy!
