Bongo,

I would think that the RHH 130 pad type would be appropriate for the 
DTXP3SP and that the TP65 would suit the STD edition. If the RHH 130 
pad type eliminates the problem, you could just stay with it (the RHH 
120 never made it to market). If, however, the problem is bugging 
you, like it would me, you might experiment with the hi hat offset 
(Utility menu) and possibly sensitivity (Voice menu) parameters. 
Certain values may cause the controller to interfere with the hi hat 
pad sounding. It may have something to do with the module's alternate 
group of an open hi hat and a closed hi hat, preventing them from 
sounding at the same time. Just a hypothesis. The only other thing 
that occurs to me at the moment is that your polyphony is exhausted, 
which would be too much of a coincidence unless it happened at the 
same time every time you, say, played along the same way with a 
certain song on the sequencer. Long shot, I know.
