Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Hi Jay,

Off the top of my head, if the rejection parameter of your snare is 
set too high, the snare may respond to another source that's hit 
simultaneously and not make its own sound. Also, if the snare's 
sensitivity is at the maximum(the switch underneath the actual pad, 
assuming it's a stereo pad) the snare may be susceptible to other 
triggers. That's all I can think of at the moment. Maybe others will 
have ideas.

it sounds like that it may be the gain is set too high or maybe the m-
velocity if these are set to high then a pad with the high settings 
will most likely trigger randomnly when you're playing another pad
(had this happen with my concertcasts) a good trick is to push the 
voice button on your module,and go ahead and start playing your snare 
like you would normally play it,then watch the readout on your module 
for what pad is being triggered while playing,then when you hear the 
tom sound that you said you've been hearing you should know what pad 
it's coming from,and then go in to the settings for that pad,and 
reduce them(ex.gain,m-velocity,etc.) until you see which one works 
out) or if you're using a stereo pad and the tom sound is being 
produced from the snare pad ,and not another pad on your kit,you'll 
need to eliminate the tom voice setting for the snare pad

hope this helps,

Thanks for the suggestions.   Hopefully that is the problem.  I use the
DTXpress for recording and have had great results until I started having
this problem.
