Happy Thanksgiving to you too Roland!
The Kat is fine, but I think the action could be improved. I remember seeing an article on the web outlining how to modify it for a stiffer feel. Now I can't seem to find that. It appears that most e-drummers are looking for an actual pad.
BTW, did Kat stop making that pedal? Neither that or the HatKat are on their site. Hmmm.
Good hearing from you.

I'm assuming you just don't like the springy feel to it ( although I didn't think it was that bad ). Can't think of anything right now, but I'll give it some thought.
