Stephanie and pbarker,

Not only does the outer rubber pad wear out but also the foam disk inside
the KP-65. Since the KP65 can be used with a double bass pedal, I have just
shifted the beater to the left of center and in few months with shift it to
the right of center. I was actually thinking about getting a rubber patch
kit that is used to repair bicycle tires and glueing it to the face of the
rubber pad, to kept a rubber consistency.
