RE: [DTXpress] Re: KP65 Kick tower/- TP65s 3 zone snare pad

2003-05-01 by Creighton Higgins

My old KP 60 quit. Built a Remo practice pad trigger and mounted it to the tower. Much better response and dynamic range and plenty of room for 2 beaters. About 6 weeks along and it is working very well. Total cost about $20.

Let me know if I can help...

hi dude,

i have same problem.
i had the old DTXpress set. i cannot play my double
pedal on it... made me very sad. i called yamaha,
they said the new pedal is not compatible with the
old module... so i just wondering to replace the
kick pad with a acoustic one and trigger it...
but have to buy acoustic bass drum and mesh head and
trigger.... so i just waiting... see if can come
out with better idea....

the idea of modify double pedal, is it possible? i
checked the kick pad, the trigger section is just
in the center of the rubber pad... how?

help ~~~ help~~~ i cannot sleep without playing
double pedal~~~
