KP-60 modifications

KP-60 modifications

2004-01-21 by boomer535

I discovered that someone bought a Remo practice pad and mounted it 
to the KP-60 tower in order to use a double pedal. Anyone have 
details on how this was done?

Thanks Ken

Creighton Higgins did it, and he invited inquiries on the subject 
just four posts ahead of you. Give him a holler.

Hey Boomer-
Every now and then I get to brag that by "fixing" my kp60- I got a great
bass pad. Star with this link: http://www.electronicdrums.com/pads/pads2.htm
. If you have the courage to build one of these- (pretty easy if you're
handy) the hard part is mounting the pad to your kp60 tower. You will remove
all the kp60 insides which leaves a rectangular opening on the face of the
tower. I used a short length of steel that was laying around the shop and a
bolt that fits the stud in the back of the pad. I got a digital camera for
Christmas and will happily take pix if you want- it will take a couple of
days. Anyway- this is a $20 upgrade that has lasted for a year so far with
excellent results.

Creighton,

Did you ever take the pictures you promised me? If you did send them, 
I somehow missed them. Could you send them again?

Thanks, Ken
