The trigger pad is very solid. I am using a DW3000 double bass drum pedal setup on a solid floor and it works great. very happy with for the price point.

I needed a second trigger to take to rehearsals so I didn’t have to haul my bass drum. This trigger functions well with both of my electronic brains and is wide enough to fit double pedal hammers from various pedals.

Good price. Using with Roland TD17kvx. Works great. Fairly loud. I like the fact it has volume settings you can alter on the device itself instead of navigating module menu.

ツインペダルの練習でもしようかと購入しました。しっかり2本のビーターとも打面にしっかりと当たります。練習用には最適だと思います。

I'm using the Alesis Forge electric drums (but not the electric cymbals - I still use real cymbals), and while I like the drums a great deal, I found myself disappointed with the kick drum pad, specifically in use with my DW3000 double-bass drum pedal. Even on max sensitivity, it wouldn't register all strokes with both beaters. After doing some research, I found this Yamaha KP65, which is also about $20 less expensive than the Alesis kick tower. The Yamaha kick tower is AWESOME! Works perfect for double bass pedals. Extremely fast response, strong signal. Very sturdy. Set up took about 30 seconds to remove the DW3000 rim clamp, swap the towers and reconnect the 1/4 inch cable. One of the big differences between the two towers is that the Yamaha's strike surface spreads across the entire face, all of which is sensitive. The Alesis tower has a thick metal border around the pad, which on my double-bass pedal, put the beaters too close to the edge and way from the center of the pad. Thumbs up to the Yamaha, best bang for the buck.

I've been using this with my DD65 Yamaha Midi Drum Module and the Yamaha 7210 Kick Pedal and it's worked fantastic.The cord running from the back of the kick tower to the module is about 10 feet long. Way more than I needed but better to be too long than too short.The tower has 2 spikes built into the rear portion of the base for carpet mounting to keep it from moving. I highly recommend either using these spikes or fabricating your own velcro system of some kind to keep the tower from moving. When you're drumming, it definitely will move if you don't secure it somehow.The tower pad is quite sensitive to your playing and will pick up ghost notes and nuance playing. I don't recall it ever not triggering a note that I've played in a month of daily use.You do not want to purchase the beaterless pedal. If you do, you WILL experience missed triggers and I'll tell you right now, there is nothing more frustrating than not knowing if your pad is going to trigger or not, especially if you do any recording like I do.So spend the extra money and get this tower and the accompanying foot pedal. It will be well worth the investment.

I bought this to I could practice on my electric kit in my garage without having to travel all the way to the studio. I use with my Iron Cobra (old style) double bass pedal (I also use the Trick Drums Dominator double pedal, but it does not fit well on the base of the KP65 - this is a design flaw of the pedal though and not the KP65). While it does indeed work, I do have to watch it since it moves around a good bit and my pedal can actually move away from where it's clamped down. I probably have to recenter it once every other week or so. Nevertheless, that's the pedal's fault and not the kick tower. I like the separate volume control on the back of this unit.***Update 8/23/2016 - Unfortunately the KP65 that I had purchased began to crap out on me. It seemed like it was just hit or miss whether or not the trigger transmitted when it was hit...no matter what I tried. I contacted Yamaha customer service and spoke to someone (an American in California) who created a ticket with my info and told me someone would contact me for further instructions. Later I did receive a call but I was not able to take the call and a voice mail was left requesting a call back. I was not able to return the call until the next day. I called them back and they ran through the troubleshooting steps with me, which I had done everything except one thing already. They said to try that one thing (put the kick pad on a separate input to rule the inputs out on the brain) and then give them a call back/or email and they'd process a replacement right away. Unfortunately the tests showed that my unit was bad, but Yamaha shipped me one out and it arrived in perfect condition and is working flawlessly at this time. Yamaha's excellent customer service and warranty policy (1 year) has allowed me to retain this 5 star review in tact. Great job Yamaha! Other manufacturers should take note of your warranty policy and follow it as an example.

I have to say I'm having the opposite experience to some of the other reviewers. I'm surprised that some are saying they barely get any volume out of it... I've had an old Yamaha DTX 2.0 kit since 1999. Always wanted to go double bass pedal, but the 2.0 bass tower's pad was too tiny to accommodate two beaters. I finally decided to just update the tower (c'mon, it's $70! That's practically disposeable! )Anyway, I just swapped this unit into place, hooked up my new double pedal, plugged it in and HOLY CRAP IT'S WAY TOO LOUD!!! Yep, I actually had to dial down the pad volume a bit to get it in line with the rest of the kit. I'm playing CRAZY fast with my new pedals and I have had zero unregistered notes. It's working absolutely flawlessly, zero complaints about responsiveness or playability. it is perfect. I was a little surprised at how soft and spongey the rubber pad is... it's nothing like the surface of my other pads. But it works, we'll just see if it's as endlessly durable as my old pads have been.The only thing that really pulls it down for me is just aesthetics. The placement of the input jacks and wingnuts that hold the baseplate to the pad tower ensure that this pad is about as uncompromisingly ugly as is humanly possible. But then, the DTX kit is pretty hideous to begin with what with the complete lack of cable management options. Still, the old kick tower wasn't THIS bad.

Initially bought this to replace DD65 pedal and worked great. It is now used for double bass pedal having upgraded to the DTXplorer kit. Condition was excellent.
