Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

It's Kevin actually and what I was saying was when I plug a cord into 
the additional INPUT not OUTPUT on the kick pad it triggers the rim 
sound... I have dabbled in electronics all my life (I even sell a 
communication cable that I fabricate, on another group)  But from 
what I'm understanding there is no reason for the "rim" to be 
triggered from the second input.

Just thought I should clear that up,
Gilligan
