Hi Guys,
Things are getting a bit intense over this kick drum pedal issue.
Ok, I have already stated that the DTXpress kick drum noise
through the floor upsetting the wife is a big downside of the
DTXsetup.
However when people start talking about developing a technique that
requires one to hold back right (or left "no prejudice here") foot
power,
I have to step in. Some people are using the DTX as there main kit, if this
works for them then great. However if you are using the kit as a
practice /
recording set up then the last thing you need to do is to weaken your kick
drum
technique. I have worked my whole life to strengthen my kick drum foot, and
pride
myself that I can kick along with them all, and better than most. If this
upsets the wife
then that is a problem. However I am not about to try and solve the problem
by finding
a way that I can play my DTX by kicking softer. What we should be doing is
finding a way
that we can insulate the kick tower vibe from going through the floor. We
want to be able to
kick as hard as we need, or want to, without the noise travelling through
the floor.OK, now we
concentrate on solving the real issue. If Yamaha cant, or wont, then maybe
we can.
Heads together boys & Girls.

banging right foot? mY wife would definetly want me to get one of
them! i am assuming that you bearly need to touch this pedal for it
to react.
how quiet is quiet? Perhaps this would enable me to finally bring my
Kit back in the house and take it away from a good mate who seems to
have temporarily inherited it from me.
yours hopeingly.........
