Yamaha KP65 Electronic Drum Kick Tower

Yamaha KP65 Kick Drum Tower is THE ONE! 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.
