Wolfgang,

Unfortunately I don't have the special kit, but I do know that some
people have had problems because the hihat is not set as the correct
type.  Press shift+trigger to get into the trigger edit menu.  Hit the
hihat and the display should say "TRIG IN=8".  Underneath it should
say "Type= RHH" if it doesn't then you need to change it.

The other settings related to the hihat are on page 14 of the
reference manual: HH OffS=xx and T=xx.  The offset may help adjust
where your foot needs to be for a specific sound between closed and
open.  The time T is the splash detect time which doesn't sound like
your problem, but will need adjusting if you are having trouble
getting the foot splash, or get it too often. 

Keith.
