I had this posted over in the cave, but figured I'd move it over here and probably get a little more help.

I'm thinking about building a home made e-kit and wanted to get your guys' opinion on drum modules. Really, I'm not even going to be using the sounds on the module, it's just to trigger DFH.
Now...
I'm looking at the DM5 because it has position sensoring, or Expanded Dynamic Articulation as they call it, but no cymbal choking. I'm looking at the older Rolands and those have cymbal choke, but no position sensoring that I can tell.
My question to you guru's is... what would actually be deciphering the position sensoring, cymbal choke, velocity, etc...? Would it be the module, or DFH? From what little I know, it seems the position sensoring and cymbal choking would be at the module level, and the velocity would be at the DFH (it'd determind how loud to trigger the sample on MIDI date from 0-127). So if I get a module that lacks in one of those areas, it won't work in DFH because there has to be data sent to it?
Thanks! Yea, I'm looking to save money. I know I can get a module that is around $800+ that can do all that, but that's out of my price range. I'll sacrifice the cymbal choking for position sensoring if I need to. Thanks!
