I have had similar isues with my Zenbal and DTXpress. Be sure you set 
the trigger type in the trigger menu- I think I've settled on "Type 4". 
(at work now- no drums here- dang) I added an Aquarian Cymbal Spring 
which has improved triggering. When you hit the cymbal a second time you 
activate the choke feature, so this is normal. I use this beast only as 
a splash/crash and add a lot of decay in the voice menu. (adding decay 
means you punch in negative numbers- go figure). I am curious how ithis 
goes for you. I love the quality of construction of this beast, but it 
is fussy.
