Default higher water flow from well?

The house I just bought and moved into has a fancy 6-head shower setup
in the master bath. But the water pressure seems completely
insufficient to the task of running more than one head at a time... if
I try to run more, they essentially dribble. I presume that the water
pressure and volume throughput from the well is simply too low. Is
there a product that might help? I was thinking of something along the
lines of a holding tank that could be pressurized and provide the
flowrate needed.

Clearly this is something of a lark, since who really needs a
carwash-like setup for people... it is just a matter of having a
useless bunch of showerheads irking me.

Most definitely a pressure tank would help. Of course you must
assure that the water lines are adequate size and there are no
constricitons.

I put in a drip irrigation system once and ended up having to know
exactly how much every single faucet on the whole place used in gpm
(gallons per minute). My shallow well had to ration out it work load
to do the numerous tasks needed with lots of timers. God, I love city
water.
