a little help for a newbi?

2004-03-09 by philsiu02

Hi,
Im sure many of you have experienced the same level of frustration I 
have.
I buy an acoustic kit and complaints about noise come flooding in. 
The only thing I could do to stop it was to put pads on the kit. This 
just ddn't feel right.
Now im a student I cant have my kit with me at university (space and 
noise problems) so last I bought the yamaha DD-55, it was good for a 
while if a little frustrating due to the permanant pad set up, 
trigger problems and those pesky bass and hihat pads that run away 
from you. 
I've finally given up and bought a Ex-Demo DTXpress II for a very 
good price.
This leads on to my question - For some reason (unknown to me) the 
kick pad is one from the old DTX so im looking to upgrade to the KP65 
as I have a very nice double bass pedal. I was planning on using the 
spare, old kick tower as an extra trigger in jack 9 and buying a 
single zone pad as an extra tom. Before I go ahead and buy these 
things i need to know if, when i buy a pad, the cables come with it 
(not too much of a problem, cables are easy enough to get) but more 
importantly DOES THE CLAMP TO LINK A NEW TOM TO THE FRAME COME WITH A 
NEW PAD? I cant find the clamps anywhere so im assuming they do but i 
dont want to waste money buying a pad I cant mount.

Sorry there was alot of useless information in there. Only the 
sentance in capitals is actually important.

Thanks in advance

Phil
