I've got a somewhat similar issue....

I'm new to Megadrum and relatively new to current edrumming (I used to program drums extensively in the 90's on my Alesis D4). Sometimes when I've hit my snare pad, I get completely unrelated MIDI notes coming out of the MD. For instance, EVERYTHING for the snare pad is either on the same note or disabled and I'll occassionally get a hi-hat or ride hit. This is clearly seen in the MIDI monitor in MDM. A string of note 38's with various velocities corresponding to my hits with some odd-ball note 46 or something. This occurs with no other pad connected to the MD. Just the snare pad in port 4 of the MD.

I haven't been able to find anything consistent in hitting the drum to figure out why this happens.

I was actually going to make thread about this or submit a question to Dmitri...But it seems somewhat similar to what's happening here?

Hmmm, it's a while since that last Friday but anyway, here's what we found as solution for this problem (after a few try-outs):

Before we started recording I was playing in my basement, solid concrete floor, so I was used to have low treshhold levels. Now we are playing in an older house on the 2nd (wooden) floor and everything is moving whilst playing, so instead of double triggering on one pad the movements were causing false triggering on different pads.
Extra muffling on the pads, higher treshold level are the solution.

For now the drum is sounding good, I could post my currently settings but I'm affaid they are usefull in this specific situation, I'm sure when I have my kit back in my basement I could finetune even more. This however makes it in my opinion dangerous for live performances cause I'll never know in what situation Ill have on stage.

Any suggestions here or tips and trics that anyone experienced?

Keep the threshold at it's current level, you probably won't be loosing much in sensitivity.
