The rubber covering starts to break down with the constant
whacking of the kick pedal beater, but it appears that the main problem may well
lie in the 1st foam covering under the rubber covering. After carefully removing
the rubber covering, you will probably note that the foam has bottomed out at
the point where the beater strikes. I bought the Pintech kick pad so I can just
replace the mesh heads, but I want to try to scrape off the original foam
from the Yamaha kick and replace it with a new piece of foam. I have not tried
it yet so I can not guarantee results, but it may be worth a shot? If it does
work it may be something to repeat as "routine maintenance" about every couple
of months? If you try it, please let me know how you make out.
Thanks.

bass drum pad has developed an annoying problem:
The center of the pad (where the beater makes contact) no longer
responds properly. Sometimes it makes noise, sometimes loud,
sometimes quiet, other times no sound at all! I found that moving
the pedal so that the beater makes contact to the left/right/bottom
of the center solves the problem (if you'd call that a solution :-
( ). The funny thing is that the "eq" on the display shows a reading
from the bass, even when no sound is produced...
Anyway, has anyone else experienced this type of problem? I have
reset my module, and checked all connections and cable etc. with no
luck. Does it make sense that only a specific area of the pad would
go dead? Is there something that I can do to revive my stubborn drum
pad?
