Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

You have already done the first thing I would have suggested. The 
second is to check to make sure you are using two stereo cables to 
connect it to the module. Third, make sure that it is not adjusted 
too high on the rod. If the heavy metal clutch that moves up and down 
that is attached to the center rod doesn't make contact with the 
rubber rocker in the bottom of the RHH130 pad, it will always stay 
opened up. Fourth, only if you feel comfortable opening it up, is to 
see if anything has gotten between the rubber rocker and the ribbon 
switch in the bottom of the pad.
