Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

I was wondering if you could tell me how you set up your dtxpress 
(triggers, gain, etc.) to work with the PDX-8. I just bought one to 
use with a DTXPRESS I (original orange version), and the rim shot 
does not work properly. When I strike the rim, regardless of how 
hard, there is no triggering (no sound). If it hit the bottom plastic 
of the drum, it does trigger. Everything worked fine with a different 
dual-trigger pad, so I know the TRS cable and the sound module are 
working. It seems like a sensitivity problem. Any help you can offer 
will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

snare, rim shot and cross stick out of it.  The mesh head is very 
responsive and it fits well on the set.   The only draw back is that 
you have to hit it pretty hard to get the rimshot. The best part for 
me was I got use my old snare pad for an extra cymbol.
