Antonis,

Welcome to the club. Such crosstalk is a common occurrence, and 
Yamaha addresses its remedy in the manual, which you should consult, 
poorly organized and written as it is. The hits on your hi hat and 
tom3 are creating vibrations along the rack that cause other pads to 
trigger sympathetically. By adjusting the rejection and specific 
rejection numbers, as well as those for gain and minimum velocity, in 
the Trigger Edit Mode for the reactive pads, you should be able to 
mitigate the problem. But be sure to adjust these parameters only to 
the bare extent that they eliminate the crosstalk; don't just settle 
on a high or low number. The cure can be worse than the disease: Bad 
programming can make pads refuse to fire under ordinary conditions. 
So look in the index under the terms that I've mentioned and get back 
to us if you need further help deciphering what they mean and how 
they operate.
