@Deluxeta You're welcome. I guess it's not very durable. It lasted a few years before it started having trigger problems. I played it regularly. I'm highly considering buying a more expensive tower to replace it.
So, the recommendation is to buy a new one? mine has started to fail (if i kick it one time, it sounds like I kick it continuosly... very weird). What should I do? is there any solution, or should i buy one? Great video ;)
Thanks. Sorry for the late reply. I suck at TH-cam. I'm only good at watching videos. :( I had that same problem you did with the continuous hitting the first time I put mine back together because the sensor became a little loose. This could be an easy fix for you. I would try to reinforce it. Might as well.
Yes, I do. Do you still want it? Sorry for the late reply. I couldn't remember what I did with it. Please just show me exactly which parts you want and I will let you know how much the shipping will be. Thanks. :) Here, use this image: www.dv247.com/assets/products/100916_l.jpg And circle in red the parts you want just so we're clear.
Maybe. Since you won't be hitting the pad dead on you might run into the issue of not being able to trigger the sensor well enough to produce a sound of full volume.
Sorry, there's not that much for me to say about it now that it's been so long. :( I've since replaced my Yamaha KP65 with a Roland KD-8. It's not as loud (less sensitive trigger) for some reason, whether it be a design difference or a faulty product I don't know, but it's loud enough for me to practice with. Is there anything in particular you'd like to know about the sensor? I still have a pretty good memory of it.
I can imagine. No production values here: Just me and my new point and shoot with zero editing. This isn't some fancy tutorial. I just decided to take this thing apart one day and thought that other people might like to see that. I wasn't wrong. I'm sure there are much better videos out there on the subject these days. Thanks for the feedback. Maybe I'll put in more effort the next time I decide to upload a video.
Michael Lee Oh no man, video was fine. It was just knowing the KP65 inside out then watching the disassembly. I came across it just to watch people solder new piezos on. Looking for piezo brand ideas. But then came across this video and just wish I could’ve stopped ya! Wish I could’ve helped.
@Justnorthofjustice change the mallet to a softer type, you will wear any surface out with the current mallet.
Thanks, I did find it educational, it gave me an idea of how good the pad is.
Unfortunately, it seems fragile and not durable.
You need to use a softer mallet on these

video starts at 6:50
@i3rucei3ruce Good question. Once the rubber kick pad comes off (0:38), the back part be removed as well (6:35).
The kp65 is one of the best u can get. The more expensive kp125 from yammie is prone to problems. Just fix it man. new foam and ur good
Dude please make a vid for the sensor.
So, the recommendation is to buy a new one? mine has started to fail (if i kick it one time, it sounds like I kick it continuosly... very weird). What should I do? is there any solution, or should i buy one?
Great video ;)
lol you could 've just unscrew it you didnt have to cut it xD
hey, search for buzzer on the wikipedia. i hope it helps

Here is the solution! Just fill de foam and check the piezo: th-cam.com/video/V-iRSjOh-5Y/w-d-xo.html
Any chance you still have the unit, I'm missing the rear bracket and am seeking a new one...
and that goes for anyone on this thread... i have a perfectly working unit and a previous owner threw the bracket away with the packaging :(

just click on the link above and it'll take you to a album named "Michael Lee". Also I'm in Australia for postage location

Got it, thanks. Those photos are very helpful. I'll be in touch about the cost then as soon as I figure it out.
is it big enough for a doube pedal

Do you still wanna make the sensor video?

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piezoelectric_sensor : ) The Sensor is a Piezosensor ( most of the Edrums use this for every drum pad)
😂 Man this is rough to watch.
