have you tried to set the trigger settings to Special (SP) since your are using a Special? I had the same problem before but found out the the trigger was set to STD or standard.
1. Press the [TRIG] button to display the Trigger
Setup display.
2. Use the [VALUE
\ufffdC]/[VALUE+] buttons to selectthe trigger setup that best matches the
drum set you are using.

Trigger Setup
1 STD Med
(for Standard Drum Set) Normal setting
2 STD Dyna
(for Standard Drum Set) Wide dynamic range. This setting is well suited for reproducing
expressive subtleties over a wide dynamic range.
Excessive vibration however, may result in crosstalk (sound
being produced by other pads).
3 STD Easy
(for Standard Drum Set) Controlled dynamic range delivers stable trigger detection.
This setting is well suited for producing a smoother, more
uniformed sound with less expression.
4 SP Med
(for Special Drum Set) Normal setting
5 SP Dyna
(for Special Drum Set) Wide dynamic range. This setting is well suited for reproducing
expressive subtleties over a wide dynamic range.
Excessive vibration however, may result in crosstalk (sound
being produced by other pads).
6 SP Easy
(for Special Drum Set) Controlled dynamic range delivers stable trigger detection.
This setting is well suited for producing a smoother, more
uniformed sound with less expression.
7 DT10/20
(for DT10/20) Use DT10/20 drum trigger systems applied to acoustic
drums.

I am not familiar with the Special, but I suspect the setting is the
same: page 14 of the reference manual - adjust the high hat foot
splash detect time (T) in the trigger menu.
