Missing hits (on tripple hits)

Hi all,
I have something annoying with my Megadrum set with XLN Addictive drums.
When I hit each pad separatly (doesnt matter, cymbals, snare, kick etc.) sounds is ok (latency 20ms is also playable), but when I hit 3 pads together in fast way ( lets say 3 Times/sec) for example Hi Hat + Snare + KICK , very often I dont hear sound of kick, sometimes snare too :( It looks like module hardly "receives" three messages together... I'm adept with megadrum yet, so I use default settings.
Do you have any idea what fault this could be? Do you need any more info to figure out, what this could be?
Thanks for all advices!

There are no default settings, so to speak. Can you post your settings?Either a list or screenshot from MDM/

Which settings from Megadrum you need? I can copy some from LCD on module :) But I haven't installed megadrum manager yet - is it obligatory?

Well yes, otherwise the Megadrum police will arrest you!
Seriously though, it makes programming and screen shots easier.

High level, threshold, gain, crosstalk, retrigger, dyn time, dyn level, miniscan.

airflamesred, you need settings from all pads or from special one? Anyway thank you for advising - I thought my megadrum is broken... but it's not - I changed the plugged jack to another slot and it's working fine now :D And I noticed that treshold is responsible for vibrations - When I hit hardly one pad/cymbal, it doesnt forward vibrations to another pads.
What are another settings responsible for?
Could you explain me please also how can I set up hihat KICK? I have easy kick that uses only open/close hi hat, but I have no idea how to set it up :(
Thanks for all advices!

Ok. I think you need to read through these links
http://www.megadrum.info/content/megadrum-configuration

Obviously I can't go through everything but do, please ask if you are not understanding anything.
