Re: kp65 - bargain or bad buy?

2003-03-17 by underneathheaven

Hey Peterpan!  I currently use an Iron Cobra double bass pedal but 
at first I was scared it wasn't going to fit that black base that 
extends out from the front of the KP65, but it fits!  The kit 
responds find to all double bass speeds, even the really really fast 
ones!
