• Small Bucks, Big Bang...

  The alternatives to this kick pad were twice the price, and having had good experience with Yamaha over 40 plus years, I gave it a try. Glad I did. Very sturdy design and construction, easy to assemble and adjust, stable on a very uneven floor. Perfectly responsive to subtle or tromping play. And the extra trigger 'thru' port came in handy for me as well. Two big toes up.

  I bought this kick pad to accomodate my Yamaha DD65.The stock pedals that come with this product lack performance. I walked into Guitar Center and told them what I wanted. They ordered it and shipped to my front door with no hassle,exactly on time.I plugged it in and was amazed by how real the play feel was.It is a durable and sturdy unit and doesn't slide all over.It has an extra trigger jack and level sensitivity adjustment.Thanks Guitar Center for the great service!

• Seems a good value

  
  As reviewed by Rob Vernon on 3/23/2012

  I've had my Roland TD7 kit for 15 years. The "doorstop" kick trigger had given me some trouble over the last 5 years and more reciently started missing hits. Figured it's time to replace it, but wasn't too keen on the Roland. Tried to order a Hart Dynamics doorstop, but was backordered and I needed something for a gig. Based on customer reviews, I took a chance on the Yamaha. I was surprised by the apparent quality of the unit, it IS beefy and solid. I've only used it at a couple practices and one gig, but it plays well.Natural feel. Having a sensitivity knob on the unit is handy for quick adjustments instead of having to go into the Roland menu. The only minor drawback is how large this thing is, and it's only an issue if I want to use my drum riser. With the DW peddle attached to the Yamaha, it's about 18in long! It BARELY fits on my riser. But otherwise, that's a non-issue. If this unit plays as well as it does now 5-10 years from now, this is an outstanding value, if size is not an issue for you. Half the price of replacing the Roland, and costs less than the Hart.
