Wow, check this out. It's pretty pricey, but I'd still tap that.

that's pretty amazing to be honest.
I think i'll start saving.

Hm, Well its sounds aweful nice
but for $59.....i think i'll just use my heavy hitters
or an actual marching snare drum

I saw that while searching for my old percussion instructor. It was cool to find a video of him reviewing that product. Micah is a great guy and the next time I see him I'll probably bring it up. The pad seems pretty nice. I saw some similar to it at the last DCI show I went to but I'm not sure if they were the same brand. They both had the rims and the one I played had a good feeling. I'll have to look into this. (Though I probably wouldn't buy one for $60. Like previously stated, I'll stick with my Real Feel and Slim Pad.)

I have a pad like that. Ronnie Lagrone hooked me up on tour this summer. It is the best feeling pad I have ever played on. Better than the slimpad imo.

It's seems as though the original initiatives behind a pad, which were a quiet form of practice and price, have gone by the wayside.

This pad sounds pretty counter top-ish like the slimpad and a few other not so silent options out there.

I understand that not every one has a drum at home, but for my money, I'll stick to my well worn real feel (which works my chops much better) and my FFX when the house is empty.

hmm thats pretty cool ive been in the market for a snare pad.(all i have is my obnoxiously large vic firth heavy hitter tenor pad..)

I like it. The rimshot things seem really cool. I know that although I can hit a rimshot 100% of the time on an exactopad, I'm much less accurate on a real drum. It'd be nice to be able to practice that without having to do the real thing.

I want to get me one, the problem is my wallet disagrees but birthdays in November hint hint

That is very cool. If I find I have some spare cash, I will definitely pick one up.
