OGD also sends the following clever suggestion along from points 
unknown:

"Move the HH65 pedal as far away from the kit as possible and place 
it on a pillow to completely isolate it from the floor. This should 
completely isolate it from the KP65 piezo. Now stomp on the HH65.  If 
the base drum voice sounds, then verify that only one voice is 
assigned to the foot close. IF it doesn't sound then because of the 
hard surface of the floor, the vibration is traveling from one to the 
other. Also, make sure that the two pedals are not touching the rack 
itself. If the HH65 is up against the horizontal foot support and the 
top of the KP65 it pressing against the bottom red crossmember that 
would also allow for transmission of the vibration between the two."
