Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Thanks for your reply, Keith.

I have the DTXpress III Special kit which came with the RHH130.
Both cables that are being used by the hi-hat are stereo and both work equally when I swap them out with other stereo cables.

I have followed the instructions on how to set up the hi-hat as well as I can, going over the process repeatedly.  So I can only assume it's done correctly.

I'll give the HH Offs adjustment and try and see how that goes.

Assuming you have done that, and tried swapping cables to make sure you haven't a faulty one, there are a couple of other possibilities (I am only surmising as I don't have the RHH).  You need to get the hi-hat physically set up correctly, as explained in the instruction leaflet.  I am not sure how good the instructions are, but I believe it is possible to get it physically set up so nothing happens (as you are experiencing), presumably because the hi-hat control is at one extreme of the adjustment.
