KP60
2003-03-28 by liberatusvirus
Those of you who've been around for a while may remember how fond I am of Yamaha's dear departed KP60 kick drum pedal. To prove the depth of my affection, I have two KP60s, and, friends, I'm willing to part with them for a song. Presumably, you already have a pedal, but now you can be the first triple-bass-drummer on your block. You say that you can't even play one bass drum, let alone three or even two (leaving aside for the moment any purely physical deficiencies)? Not to worry. The KP60s don't really make any noise (except for Jim's and now Creighton's, though he cheated), so any reservations that you might have about playing them properly are completely moot. Seriously, I have two of them. If any adventurous DIYer wants to tinker, contact me offline. I'll even test them for you, if it matters, to tell you exactly what you're getting. I worked on both of them (new piezos, soldering, etc.), but I can't vouch for either of them now, though I suspect that at least one fulfills its function to some degree. I just can't bear to try them unless someone forces my hand. Ed
