Lee,

As you may know, I have three dtxpressII modules on my setup. If you look at
the picture in the photos section, the pads/cymbals on the left section go
to module no. 1, the middle pads to module no. 2 and the right side pads to
module no. 3. Even with that separation, it still wasn't enough to stop
cross-triggering, because dense packing of pads, the cymbal arms just seem
to amplifly the vibration effects to the tom pads. And since you can only
specifiy one other trigger to "specific rejection" per pad, I had to find
another solution. So I replace the mounting clamps of the offending cymbal
arms with some Gilbraltor multi-clamps, bought a heavy duty rubber washing
machine drain hose and cut it up and placed it between the cymbal mounting
arm and the clamp and it solved my problem.
