Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

I am a novice user. I just bought a new Yamaha dtxplorer. It seems the 
hi hat foot pedal is able to generate 2 types of sounds. One is the 
normal sound you expect and it is easy to do by briefly lifting the 
pedal. The other is a splash sound similar to regular cymbal. I think 
it is supposed to be done by rapidly pushing the pedal down. I have 
found that is extremely difficult to do the splash consistently. Any 
advice? 

Sorry this is dtxplorer instead of dtxpress.

Read page 13 of the manual "adjusting the hi-hat"!

Thanks that helped. I didn't see that in the manual. I sent email to 
Yamaha customer service and they just said it takes some getting 
used to, instead of pointing out that it was adjustable. I found the 
customer service to be way below the outstanding quality of Yamaha 
products. If they don't improve they can expect to have their jobs 
sent to India.

To help u i need two information:

1)pedal model
2)is it new or did U buy it used?

Strange here the guy is very professional and divert the call to an
expert who is not only very prompt. But if a dealer treat a customer
badly signals it to the company to be reprimended.
