Use stock hi-hat as splash?

[RagingID10T]

Hey all - long time lurker, first time poster 

Just ordered a new DM10X Mesh kit from Kraft with Pro-X Hi-Hat... This will essentially render useless the 12 inch hi-hat cymbal that comes stock with the kit.

I've read that some expandability is possible, at the expense of a zone. Can I use this as another cymbal? Maybe a splash? Will it require the loss of a zone?

Thanks!

I have the DM10 Studio Mesh Kit, and recently upgraded to the Pro-X Hi-Hat.  The 12" hi-hat that comes with the kit can certainly be used as another cymbal.  I use it as my second crash, as I really didn't like one of the crash cymbals that came with my kit.  I actually made this switch shortly after purchasing my kit.  I started using my old Roland hi-hat in place of the included 12" pad, allowing me to move the pack-in to my second crash.  It works as well or better than the existing 12" crash!

No problem at all!  Good luck to you!
