The way I trouble shooted the triggering problems was to watch the module
lcd screen. When you strike a pad the level of the strike will be indicated
and any other pads that are also triggering will be noticable. You can go
into the trigger setup menu and set the "specific rejection" trigger setting
for a pad to tell it not to trigger if the pad next to it is struck. So, if
you strike tom1 and ride 1 also sounds then set the trigger for ride 1 to
"specifically reject" tom 1. If you strike tom 2 and crash 1 also sounds
then set the trigger for crash 1 to specifically reject tom 2.  Another
thing to consider is that striking the edge of the drum pads as oppose to
the center of the pad will generate more vibration that will be transmitted
back through the frame. 

The is what cause the problem between the snare and the hihat, based on the
factory settings. Since both pads are mounted on the same arm, their
rejection of each other or set high so that striking one doesn't trigger the
other. Thus, I you are a heavy hitter, moving the hi-hat pad to the
alternate mounting location may make sense. (On the same arm as the module,
and then eliminate the specific rejection between the two pads.)

If you ever get a bell pad and mount it on the same arm as a cymbal pad,
then like wise you will have to tell the bell pad trigger to reject the
cymbal pad and tell the cymbal pad to reject the bell pad.  

Hope that helps.
