I am using my DM10X Cymbals. I haven't had any issues with cymbals not working. Again, took it out of the box, set it up, and gigged all in one day and haven't had a chance to get back to it yet. Due to time limitations I didn't completely configure all three crash cymbals, but I did get one working using one cymbal on the bow and one cymbal on the edge. Would have done that with the others had I had more time. Worked perfectly during the gig. I also got the bow of the ride cymbal set as a different cymbal from the bell. The concept of having parts of different ride cymbals together (say K 20 Custom Ride bow with Rock Ride bell) is just awesome! Since I am more of an edge crasher, my plan is to put crash cymbals on the three edges, then put two splashes and a china on the bows. 6 Different Cymbal sounds with 3 drum pads. Excellent. I had a lot of splitting on my DM10 module, and that about drive me crazy. I haven't split anything on the Strike, and don't plan on it. My open box came with the wiring, and it's all stereo TRS cables. Just make sure you have dual zone cymbals, you should be able to set the bow and edge separately.
I am going to end up doing the same as you, Strike at home for practice and gigs, DM10 module at rehearsal. I cobbled together a DM10 kit a few years ago, but didn't argue when my wife told me last year I should get a good version of that kit for home and gigs and leave the cobbled set where we practice. So I have the advantage of two kits. And now, a fully working spare DM10 module that isn't being used. The cobbled together kit has a lot of single zone cymbals. While I know the capability of the DM10, I didn't fully realize it until I accidentally put two different cymbal sounds on a cymbal in the Strike module Saturday. That's when I realized my DM10X mesh kit with chrome rack was all dual done (yay), and most of what I had on the cobbled together kit were single zone. Yes, I am still learning.
I have the Pro-X Hi Hat, but haven't tried to use it yet. For now not having to bring a hi-hat stand means just one less thing to carry to a gig. It allows me to push my hi-hat further towards the middle cross bars, leave my hands open, and allows me to move around the kit with my right hand a lot easier. Think of it similar to a remote hi-hat pedal for an acoustic cymbal. Pedal where you want it, cymbal where you want it, not tied to a pole. Sorry I can't help you with that one.
Appreciate anything you run across on samples. I located and purchased a sound library that had the 14" New Beat hi hat samples, and am really anxious to get that in. Same library had a 22" Pearl MMX bass drum. I can't tell you how happy I was to run across that. Now I just need 4 Masters Toms. Make no mistake, the Strike module has really awesome sounds in it. The "Rosanna" snare is what I used for my gig. Not confirmed if that was the snare that Jeff Porcaro used to record Rosanna, but I'm playing like it is and enjoying it. Jeff Porcaro was one of my favorite drummers, he played Pearl drums, what's not to love?
