Thanks for your response,

I checked the cables again and they are inserted correctly.
I installed the kit in a room with tiles on tge floor. Due to this I 
put a carpet on it, so that the kits stands firm.
It might also help too mention, that when closing the hi hat the 
kdrum does not apear all the time but there seems to be no logic.
The Hi Hat is also triggered just most of the times it triggers the 
kdrum.
