Re: [DTXpress] My new bass drum

2004-05-09 by Vernon Graner

Have you considered just placing the kick drum shell in front of your
trigger? If it's just for looks, and you're happy with the feel of your
existing electronic kick pedal, this would allow the flexability of using
the big kick in front of your kit for "looks" when the venue/stage
permits, but using just the electronic kick tower when you dont have the
room of time to move the big kick... Just a though.. :)
