Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

i have added two cups to my kit--one on the ride with the standard 
mounting hardware and one on a splash arm--and i don't have any 
problems with false triggering--or if i do it's not noticeable 
because i try to find a bell sound that fits with the edge sound so, 
if i get a small amount of both, that's ok.  the splash arm is a good 
idea for a splash but i see that you actually want it to be a bell.  
did you use all of the standard hardware that comes with the unit?  i 
only ask because i bought my splash at music-go-round for $5 with no 
hardware.  the bell hardware replaces the standard neck with a longer 
one which allows you to get that gigantic felt in between them.  i 
think that helps alot.  The main thing is to experiment with trigger 
settings--in this case the special rejection is key.  Mine are 

ride: self rejection 4, rejection 2, minVelocity 27, special 
rejection (from bell) 7  

bell:  self rejection 2, rejection 2, minVelocity 10, special 
rejection (from ride) 6.

hope that helps.
