Re: What are the differences between the TP65 and TP80 pads?

2003-01-28 by liberatusvirus <liberatusvirus@yahoo.com>

Aren't the TP65s pads the ones with the three sounds? The TP80s has 
only two. I would assume that the non-"s" versions are mono. 
Otherwise, the two model numbers probably aren't too different from 
each other (though some places might be selling the 80s for more 
because they listed for more). The HH80a is the definitive Yamaha hi 
hat pedal, at least until the next generation, because it captures 
the full range from open to close. The 60 and 65 only get fully 
open, fully closed, and a mid-point.
