In trigger setup, make sure 'Pad Type' is not set for PCY Crash. This 
supports the choke. I had the same problem. There is no way to adjust 
the thing when this pad type is used. BUT 'PCY Ride might do it , too. 
I used 'TP Tom' for the setting, and as O remember some of the 'Misc' 
pad types work ok too. That choke really sucks when you don't need it. 
It rears its ugly head when trying to do a cymbal swell, if you're not 
careful.

the pad as a ride cymbal with the pad as a lite ride and the rim as 
the bell but the choke seems to trigger and cuts off both of the 
sounds.

Hi Glen,

If you look at the rim trigger closely, do you see any
cracks?  This can cause that symptom.... Walt

Yep, It's cracked.  Thanks to all who responded to my post. Well all my
yamaha cymbal pads have made it to the garbage can.  I have replaced the
crash cymbals with Hart Ecymbal II's.  Next on the to get list are the high
hats and ride cymbals.
Thanks
Glen
