OGD,

Now I'm confused!  Isn't input 1 the kick, input 8 the hi-hat and the
un-numbered input below 7&8 on the back the HH pedal?

Same effect - you cannot use it to replace a piezo pad.  I did mess
about with a couple of connectors to make a patch lead to try to cheat
and use the internal pull-up on the ring to pull up the tip.  It sort
of works - but backwards.  

A bit of circuitry (transistor, a couple of resistors, a capacitor and
a power supply) could be used to fix it, but you need to be handy at
building electronics.
