In just about every way. Acoustic drums are just that, actual drums with drum shells, lugs, tension rods & hoops, and drum heads. The sound is produced by the vibration of the drum heads and drum shell. Electric (electronic) drums are really nothing more than a MIDI instrument with triggers shaped to look like drums and cymbals. The sounds are produced electronically. The sounds are triggered to play when one of the drum heads (triggers) are struck with the drum sticks. Think of the triggers themselves as fancy pushbuttons. A computer can also produce the same sounds using only the keyboard to trigger the sounds. In the end, electronic drums SOUND like real acoustic drums, but aren't actually drums themselves.

Can you get extra add on drums and cymbals for the Yamaha DTX electric drum kit?

yes you can but it is quite expensive and is quite hard to find one that will fit your kit. It also depends on the electric kit you have. If you purchased a standard kit then you will not likely have extra inputs on your drum module / machine, this would require upgrading your module or whole. Which is a better idea than upgrading your pads, as that would have no effect on your sound. If you are talking about adding acoustic drums to your electric kit, it is probably better to add electric drums to your acoustic kit because you will have a fuller and more original sound.
