It sounds like the problem you are experiencing might be more related 
to rejection settings and therefore more easily solved.

A couple steps you should take are:

a) locate the source of the vibration and fix if possible (ex: two 
drums touching, cymbal stand touch drum, etc

b) it might also be one of the othe e-drums triggering the snare.  
Hit the trigger button on your brain and strike the snare to bring 
the pad number to the snare channel.  Now, make a single hard strike 
on each tom pad and watch the brain.  If you hear the snare trigger 
after a tom strike, the offending tom pad number will now appear in 
your brain.  Go back to the snare settings and turn up the 'specific 
rejection setting' against that tom channel

c) general vibrations triggering set with the middle rejection 
setting, although your best bet is to find the source and fix.

d) as a last resort tweak the self rejection.

Hope that helps, now off to RE-read the post before yours... someone 
has my curiousity up regarding maybe a gain setting...
