Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

I am having the same problem with my DTXpress III. I only use the 
snare pad TP56S when playing live, but i'm not a hard hitter, it 
just cuts out the odd hit during a song. The pad does get set off by 
vibration and I wondered if there is a setting or something I can 
adjust? I pretty new to it all...but I'm guessing perhaps the 
triggering through vibration is occuring at the same time that I am 
striking the pad?? I'm just a little confused with these 'rejection' 
settings. Do i need to be adjusting these maybe or the gain levels? 
Can anyone help?
