Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

I cured the kick bounce/pad errosion problem with a piece of "felt" 
5 mm thick designed to stop furniture from scratching wooden floors 
(available in hardware stores) - I used contact adhesive (Evo Stick) 
as this doesn't seem to effect the pad surface - it does need re 
sticking occasionaly though! Hope this helps - RD
