Roland KD-7 Kick Trigger help us out???--- ideas how to reduce the noise?

2002-12-17 by Ozan YAGCI


How about using a Roland KD-7 Kick Trigger Unit instead ?�It's working mechanism is quite different�from regular kick pads (dtxpress etc.). Once you step on the pedal, it goes all the way down the very front and hits the pad down there.�It looks more stable. I dont know if it is compatible with Dtxpress, or it helps us minimize the noise but...

Any comments on this�?

I am sending a picture of the KD-7 Kick Trigger Unit.

Ozan.

Hi maybe first try to play 5 min without you headphone to see from
where the noise came from , if it's a rack vibration you can fix that
with advice you had here but if it's the pad noise ( it's my case )
it's more hard to find a solution , i had in the past a kind of
rubber circle ( about 8 " ) with a adhesive on one side , it was made
for make remo practide pad mmore quiet , not sure that still exist
today .
and even if i find that again today the rubber will may cause problem
with the pad sensitivity ?
like i said once Yamaha and other Edrum have to understand that there
pad are not yet enough quiet for a apartment !
