The Drum guy at my local shop told me he's never
had any body reporting any problems with the KP60, but after discussing this
groups comments with him, said that I might be better off having him order the
kit without the kick pad. He recommended a Roland V kick pad with the mesh head.
Any comments about that from anybody? Or is there a cheaper option that works as
well. I know that some pintech stuff has been mentioned, but he's not a pintech
dealer, and doesn't order from them. On the bright side of things.... I sat down
at the music shops older DTXpress, and messed around for about 2 hours..I loved
it. It tracked very well, and was pretty sensitive. Didn't seem to track real
well at VERY light playing, but if I understand what I've read on here, then
that's an adjustment matter?? What about the Hi hat pedal?.... It didn't seem to
open and close as well as I'd hoped. Can the pedal be adjusted to operate a
little smoother? The kick drum didn't seem to be very loud either. Everything
else was loud and clear, but the kick just seemed a little low to me.
Again...thats probably an adjustment thing. Anyway... I loved it, and plan on
buying the newer model, with a couple of upgrades. Thanks for all the comments
folks...It's very helpful to us new people that know nothing about electronic
kits.

Saturday nights. I have had no problems with any thing about my kit.
The kick tower is a little noisy mechanically, but with the on-stage
volume, it is never a problem. It never misses a beat! And I do some
double-bass kind of stuff with just one foot, so it has to track
perfectly. I use a tom pad for ride cymbal, it tracks much better than
the cymbal pads. (Although the cymbal pads work great for crashes.
And I use a pintech concertcast for snare, so I can't comment on the
tp60 for snare. But I love my kit. I beat the hell out of it and it
has never failed me. Even the 'flimsy' rack and clamps have withstood
all the gigs and travel with no breakdowns.....Scott
