Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Keith,
Thanks for the advice.  I will give that a shot. I did, however, already take the cymbal apart and clean the ribbon cables.  It worked for a brief second but then went back to old results with one difference.  Now I occasionally get the bell on all three zones.  Nt sure what the heck is going on, but I appreciate the advice.

Thanks,
Gary

It seems a little strange for the edge and bell to both stop working simultaneously.  The cable would do that, as would the module trigger settings - check it is still set to the correct pad type.  If you have another 3 zone pad (even a snare) plug it into the ride input to make sure the input is doing the correct thing.  Also, try swapping the cable.
