Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Thanks for your help everyone, looks like this was it -- swapped out the HH
cable for the one included with the BP80, and it works great now.  Seems
like the cable isn't bad, but has some sort of bleed between the leads that
carry the two piezo trigger signals of the BP80.  I'll just need a new cable
and everything should be OK.

Thanks,

-Dan
