Can you hit the kick with medium hard velocity and then post a screenshot of your settings in the control application.
There you go, I hope this is what you were asking

Are those double kick beats? Just one medium hard hit please. I don't need to see the vu meters. I just need to see the transient.

no it was only a simple stroke but it's the release of the pedal before putting another stroke on which I try to find the right setting and that's why I put you the photos where I I put the bat on the pedal with the same settings so you can see the difference

Put the decay close to its max value so it's not retrigger and do another screenshot.

couple of extra things

The pad type is set to "mesh center piezo"
Change to something more like "rubber pad mono" or something similar, that should be closer to the real thing.

Myself, I thought it was a bunch of hits, the top ones being the real hits, and the lower ones being the extra unwanted triggering.

So, maybe raising the threshold line above the extra hit?
It's not a too high gain issue.

ok I will test this too with Rob's advice and take a screen with these two modifications

I reset the input, the gain is at 5, I changed to rubber pad and increase the decay to the maximum

So those lower velocity "hits" are the result of you lifting your foot off the pedal?

So I'll assume that the lower velocity hits are the result of you lifting your foot off the pedal. Unfortunately, eDRUMin does not allow setting the thresh high enough to filter out those vibrations. I don't fault eDRUMin here; clearly there is a mechanical issue with the installation or the design of the triggers. Just looking at the pics you posted of the installation, I can see that the trigger is going to be oscillating every time your foot comes up. I would try to place a softener on the underside of your kick plate. It would need to be something extremely soft. Perhaps some acoustic foam?
