Let me first thank the people who created this web site. I've played Rolands for five years now, and wish I'd found this site sooner.
I currently am using a KD-7 for bass. I hadn't played an acoustic set for years, until a couple of weeks ago. I was amazed at the rebound that I got from an acoustic bass drum. I had always thought that I wasn't capable of getting two quick "ba-bump" strokes from my kick, but I was able to do this rather easily with an acoustic bass drum. So it seems time to upgrade the bass pad.
For those who regularly play acoustic drums, is the rebound of a KD-120 or KD-80 comparable to an acoustic kick drum? Is there a major difference between the 120 and 80? I've briefly tried out both, but they didn't seem especially bouncy, but they may not have been tensioned correctly. Am I assuming right that these should be tensioned fairly loosely, to get a nice trampoline effect?
Also welcomed are any comments about Hart or Pintech kicks, as well.
