Good suggestions Bill...just goes 2 show that u do need to modify ur playing style with an electronic kit. I use a Premier 2000 series which is inexpensive and responsive and plays well with the DTXpress's kick pad. Best thing 2 do is experiment....take ur kick pad down to the music store and try some out.

Lovesign.
