I had the same issue with core kits, but not with Noire kit…
@BFD_Drew: Just downloaded BFD Player and man, it just works with all the mappings for my TD-11 + VH-11 and instant great sounds. Great app! The hihat articulation is really realistic - no sudden volume bursts or drops like in BFD3 
Is there any info about how Player and BFD are planned to develop in the future / work together?
Of course it would be splendid to have the player presets / mapping as starting point in the full BFD app…
Update: Just found some infos on bfd3 >> player in the forum: BFD Player and additional kits? - #6 by BFD_Drew
