Ed,
Thanks for the education. One thing I forgot
to mention was that the crosstalk is coming from pads plugged into my
PM-16, where the cymbols are plugged into the DTX. Does that change
anything?

The official term for that kind of vibration interference is
crosstalk, and the module's cure for it comes under various forms of
rejection in the trigger menu. If a particular cymbal is reacting to
a particular tom when struck, go into the trigger menu for that
cymbal and toggle pages until you get to the specific rejection
page. Set that particular cymbal/input--which I assume is on either
input 6 or input 7--to specifically reject that tom, but only as
high a value as necessary to do the trick. Rejection reduces the
responsiveness of the pad that's protected. If you're having more
general trouble protecting that cymbal from crosstalk, then access
the rejection page--rather than, or in addition to, specific
rejection--to set a number just high enough to stop the crosstalk.
As if that weren't enough, sometimes gain and/or min.velocity
settings can affect crosstalk as well. If your gain on that cymbal
is very high, it will be more susceptible to external interference.
Likewise, if its min.vel. setting is very low, it may also attract
crosstalk more easily. The trick is find gain, min. velociy, and
rej. settings that will allow you to get the sensitivity that you
want without triggering the wrong pads in the process.
