Double check and make sure all the chords are plugged into the control box for your set. Most electronic drum sets require the use of headphones or some sort of PA system to hear whats being played. If you could expand a bit on the description of your problem, I should be able to help more.

Go to one of the suppliers. Most of them will have photos of the bass pedal assembly and if you can enlarge the photo, you should be able to figure how to assemble it.
Expect to find washers on shafts between things that rub.

Check on page 9 for example. While the photo isn't the greatest you can see where the spring is.

NOT a battery issue.
Note that many of these devices have a parameter one can set for "contrast" or "viewing angle". You might want to check your owners manual for this possibility.
I downloaded the DTX manual and there IS a contrast control on the back of the unit near the top left facing the back...
IT MAY require a screwdriver to adjust it.

Actually, ONLY TWO pins are used in the MIDI cable. The data is sent serially at a 31.25KBit rate.
You probably need to "map" the ones that aren't working into the appropriate codes to trigger the SR-18 sounds.
You need to COMPARE the codes sent from the DTX to those needed by the SR-18.
There also may be options in the DTX for type of drum kit such as "Latin" and selecting one of those may have the mapping already done.
In the literature of each device will be a list of the MIDI codes the DTX generates and those required by the SR-18.
essentially the percussion codes are NOT standardized completely between devices... but there is usually a way to "map" them to make it work.

you need to determine what midi note the DTXplorer is using for the snare, kick and 3rd tom, and set the SR-18 accordingly, or vica-versa. the midi notes for each instrument has to be the same.
if you cannot change the midi note in either unit to make them correspond, you can download a "midi mapper" program (i think e-drum might be one), there is freeware available if you search CNet. with a midi mapper program, you would have to get a midi/usb adapter for your computer and rouite the midi signal through a computer. midi mapping software allows you to change the midi note, when the hardware itself is incapable of doing so.
