Well, since it's out, and OGD is busy, OGD found out from Yamaha that

"the Dtxpress IIISP kit has a shipping problem. The packing
around the hihat pad is coming loose and is breaking the clutch 
connection. Jim [Haler]is flying to Chicago tomorrow [3/9] where 
these kits are being shipped out from to try and fix/replace them 
before anymore are shipped out.They are going to check all of them, 
and replace them before anymore kits go out. Yamaha is air freighting 
replacement ones out to anybody that has one already. With the break 
the hihat stays in the open position only."
