OK, Here is what I did:
1- I only slightly touched the Kick's pedal with the beater loose 
(far away from the trigger). This still triggers the kick when 
closing the Hi Hat.
2- Ths same thing like 1 but not touching the pedal with my foot. 
This time the kick was not triggered when closing the Hi Hat.
3- Unplugged the Kick's cable and naturally the kick was not 
triggered anymore.
