Did you check to make sure you have a stereo jack and cable plugged
into the cymbal?

to the "RIM" setting?

If the module is in "Learn Mode", all you have to do is hit the rim
trigger.  You don't have it plugged into trigger 9/10, do you?

I have it plugged into  outlet 7-"Crash"...how do I get into 
the "Learn Mode"  I usually set it for my "acoustic kit" then 
press "voice" then go from there...is it found in the "utility" 
mode?  I don't wanna loose my settings for my personal acoustic kit, 
I've lost them 3 times now, and it's a pain resetting the voices for 
all the pads, and remembering which setting I had them on, any help 
for all my dumb questions will be appreciated!

I'm not sure what the problem is, but from what I remember, "learn 
mode" is the default setting. But even if it isn't, you can get to 
input 7, and then rim 7, by toggling input numbers in the voice 
menu. If you're having trouble bringing up the rim of a cymbal in 
the menu by hitting it while in learn mode, it might be because 
hitting the rim often activates the cymbal's main piezo trigger and 
leaves you there. After making sure that you're in learn mode, try 
striking the rim of pad 7 gently in a number of places until the 
voice menu reads "rim 7." Then you should be able to progam it. 
Also, if you save your user settings, you shouldn't lose them unless 
you make a permanent change. Make sure that after you create each of 
your new settings, you press "save" until the process is "complete."

I'm wondering if he isn't trying to edit a default kit.  He says he's
lost his settings three times.  That don't sound right for a user kit.

Are you trying to edit a default kit, or a user kit?  A user kit is
one that you create and save in kit numbers 49 through 79.  A default
kit is any kit from 1 to 48.  YOU CAN'T SAVE SETTINGS TO A DEFAULT
KIT.  If the kit you are trying to edit is a default kit, do this.

1.  Hit the SAVE button.

The display will now read...

Store Drumkit
To = 49 Init Kit (or whatever you've named it)

2.  Use the VALUE (UP) button to scroll to a kit number from 49 - 79
that is not in use (They'll say INIT KIT if you haven't changed any
names.)

3.  Once you've picked a number to save it in, keep hitting the SAVE
button until the display goes back to normal.

If you have a manual for the DTXpress, I highly recommend that you
read the sections on assigning voices, editing user kits, changing kit
names, utility mode, etc...

The manual is easy to follow and if you keep it next to your kit, it's
a handy reference.  If you don't have a manual, you can download them
here...
