Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

I can't answer the question about the cymbal pad.

As far as the Hi-hat goes...
assuming that the DTXpress I Hi-hat pedal interacts with the module 
in the same fashion as the DTXpress II does, are you keeping your 
foot on the pedal when you set the voice. If you push the pedal 
down, take your foot off of it, and then set the voice you would be 
associating the bass voice with an open Hi-hat. Does that make sense.

Based on your description, that was the first thing I thought of. 

Hope it helps.
