Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

What density of foam is best?  There's vacuumed foam that is 
extremely dense and heavy.  This might give a "tight" feel/high 
response, whereas less-dense-foam would yield visa versa.  I'm mostly 
interested in replacing the kicker pad on my KP65 (wore through front 
before putting Kevlar patch on it).  Don't think I want high bounce 
on my kicker.  Electronicdrums.com said to use the same as Remo, but 
I don't know Remo's foam.

take it apart, there is only one 1/2" piece of foam in there but the 
two piece "sandwich" fits well. It's tight but I think that makes for 
the great feel and rebound when used as a snare.
