DTXpressII bass pad wear

2003-05-27 by mikewarrenautographs

I use a double pedal w/ felt beaters and have noticed some wear on 
the rubber bass pad (especially the right ft.). Is there any way to 
rotate, or remove & rotate, the rubber bass pad so that the beaters 
would hit in a slightly different place for longer pad life? Is the 
bass drum rubber pad replaceable? If so, has anyone ever replaced 
theirs? Thanks - Mike

PS: my once white felt beaters are now black - which is the black 
rubber off of the bass drum pad.
