Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Hi everyone,

Just spent the last few days reorganising my spare room at home to 
move my kit upstairs to stop my neighbour complaining about 
a "strange rhythmical tapping noise"...I pretended I knew nothing 
about it...but haven't played the DTXpress now for months...maybe I 
should play the acoustic kit and see which noise he prefers?!?!

Anyway...moved the kit upstairs but I have the common complaint about 
the kick pedal making too much noise...so two questions:

1.) I replace the kick pad with a silent mesh type....I like the look 
of the KOBY mesh drum pad http://www.koby.co.uk/information.htm only 
£115 including P+P...I need to get rid of the Yamaha kick anyway it's 
awful (like everyone in this group agrees!!). Does anyone use a KOBY 
kick??? Any thoughts / experiences? Is it truly quiet? Or maybe the 
DTXtreme kick pad?

2.) I construct a platform to put the kick pedal and tower on..to 
isolate the sound as much as possible. Any proven solutions / designs 
to this?

I've spent loads of money to get smaller spare room furniture only to 
find I still can't play the kit at 3am...so disappointed :-(

Thanks in advance guys...
