Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Hey guys,
I just did my yearly drumset cleaning (DTXPRESS 1).  I took 
everything apart, washed it then reassemble again.  

Now here is my problem, when I play on tom1 there is vibration in the 
rack that makes it trigger a light sound of tom2.  Same thing goes 
for the cymbals, when i hit them a little bit harder i hear a light 
sound of tom1.  Is it possible that the position of my triggers are 
causing this?  How can i minimize the amount of vibration on my rack?

Hmmmm.... a Sports bra? no... you didn't just see that... moving right
along...

I've seen some suggestions that you place a strip of thin rubber around
the bar before you attach the clamp that holds the pad. This helps to
minimize cross-talk. It is strange that a simple disassemble/reassemble
caused this. Sure you didn't make any changes to the rejection settings
in the brain? As for the vibration, is it "buzzing" or making some other
type resonant noise? If it's buzzing, is there a piece lose that you
didn't tighten down?

Hey!
I think the cross talk is being caused because when i play there is 
too much vibration on the rack.  So when i hit a snare a bit too 
hard, the vibration will trigger tom1.  Or when i hit tom1 a bit 
harder, the vibration will trigger tom2...etc.

I think it is because the pads are very sensitive and they react to 
the slightest vibration.  The vibration is not making any resonant 
noise.  But it is "physically" triggering multiple pads at the same 
time.  

Will a system reset on the module make a difference?  Or will I need 
to adjust something in the module?  If possible, can you describe 
step by step how ill do this?

Yes, you need to adjust the rejection parameters. There are 
three: "specific rejection" (reject a specific pad), "self-
rejection" (prevent double triggers) and just plain old "rejection" 
which deals with all crosstalk not covered by the other two. Check 
the manual or search the archives for more.
