Re: pre-buying advice

2002-04-15 by otacon28us

ok here's my voice on it anyways,first off you can expand the 
capabilities of the kit by adding some more pads,i haven't demoed the 
bell pad,but it seems like it would be a great addition to the 
standard ride set-up,as far as a snare upgrade there are a good bit 
of choices that you could go with,i have heard that the yamaha 
dtextreme pads will work with the kit,i just haven't personally tried 
this for myself,but you could also use any of the following: pintech 
concertcast pads,a pintech ax-14 electronic snare(this is what i use) 
hart makes what they call the acusnare(basically the same principals 
as the ax-14) also you could use an acupad trigger pad also made by 
hart,and i think the roland pd-120's will work with it as well,but 
you may want to research that first,and i don't believe the ddrum 
ones will work,but i maybe wrong on that as well,so once again it 
doesn't hurt to ask around a bit before making a purchase of one of 
those or the roland pd-120's for an eventual snare upgrade on the 
kit,at any rate i hope this info was a lil bit of help to you..
