Kick pad problem

2001-05-21 by Jay Welch

I have had my DTXpress for about 3 months. Just yesterday my kick drum started having some problems. The volume has become very low relative to the other pads and on some hits it will not sound at all. I have the volume on the back of the kick drum all the way up and the volume on the dtxpress unit is all the way up. I switched out the cable to see if that was the problem and got the same result. ; It acts the same way on any kit I select. All of the other pads sound fine.
Is it possible that the pad has gone bad? If so how long should they last if I average an hour a day playing?
Thanks,
Jay
