For eDRUMin, if a particular pad is completely isolated, you can turn its own crosstalk cancellation control down zero. The only exception to this rule is for the BT-1 when it is in xtalk mode. For the BT-1 in crosstalk mode, its crosstalk control applies extra crosstalk cancelation to the pad it is linked to.

After a number of attempts at all sorts of threshold and sensitivity settings for both 'Sensor' and 'Xtalk' BT-1 modes with the PD-125/BT-1 combo, I finally took the BT-1 off, mounted it on a nearby rack tom and tried some other variations on SS and RS settings with all things physically isolated. In that discovery phase I started working with the Snare's 'Rimshot range' setting - going back to the Roland type SS/RS cross-over separation.
I set the PD-125 rim for mostly SS hits, but with a hardest hit for a RS. To try to ensure no errant hits I pulled the 'Rimshot range' right green box all the way over and set the horizontal mid-line at about 60% of the way up.
The nearby racktom mounted BT-1 was for full range RS hits in Sensor mode. I was ok happy with this arrangement.
Then I looked at the video link above again, and noticed how easy it was for a Rim Shot to be made without the ever evasive simultaneous hit of rim and head, and in the video the snare has the 'Rimshot range' right green box pulled all the way over. Ok - the same tweak as I had just done. So no SS/RS misfires there - it's either one or the other depending on Rim hit strength.
The PD-125 factory preset doesn't utilize this 'Rimshot range' setting, and maybe its a key missing tweak for this situ. So I re-mounted the BT-1, put it in 'Xtalk' mode linked to the PD-125, mimic'd the video's PD-125 setting and tweaked the 'Rimshot range' so that the PD-125 rim is pretty much all RS (dynamically as well).
And the BT-1 is once again SS, triggered in typical LH x-stick across the snare, stick butt on left rim, and tip hitting the BT-1.
Works pretty well for now - still experiencing a few lowest sensitivity BT-1 non-triggers, and a few premature RS decay/release cutoffs - but better!
It also requires tweaking the BT-1 Xtalk setting to avoid having the PD-125 rim trigger lowest velocity SS hits, but at this point the BT-1 triggers most of the hits so there aren't a lot of double hits from both BT-1 and PD-125 rim. Tweaking the SS velocity range curve is definitely helpful.
And no problems with interaction from the rest of my kit's pieces.
