Howdy Rtmt,

First, you have to make sure that you have a chokable cymbal--the 
PCY80S and 65S being the Yamaha models. The "S" denotes stereo, which 
in this case denotes an edge switch with choking capability. 
Presumably you'll be using input 6 or 7 (9/10 is the only input on 
the DTXpress I, I believe, that is incapable of stereo functions). 
Enter the Trigger Setup Edit Mode. The first page that you'll 
encounter is "Pad Type." If you have one of the Yamaha "S" cymbals, 
choose PCY ride or PCY crash; you can also try misc 2, 4, 6 for other 
companies' chokable cymbals (or even Yamaha's if you want to 
experiment). That's the long and short of it. If you have further 
problems, just holler.
