The bounce back comes from you trying to "bury the beater", let the 
beater come back naturally, you'll eliminate the bounce on the pad 
entirely. Absolutely no re-adjustment of trigger settings needed, just 
proper technique. Playing electronics requires a slight re-adjustment 
of playing technique, due to the nature of the striking surfaces, and 
if you keep that in mind, you'll be able to eliminate that "dribbling" 
of the beater on the kick pad pretty easily. The December issue of 
Modern Drummer has a great workshop article on un-burying the beater, 
which you should check out.
