^^I spent one of my paychecks on the quadropad. Then I realised, the laminates never stuck, and the pad fails without them. Needless to say I spent another paycheck about 2 months later on the Xymox one, I hope it's worth it.

Can you make a video review? There is no review other than from Xymox and that might be biased.

All the tenor pads have laminates on them. You can also get replacements if necessary. They also have rim replacements so you can even change the look of the pad from Wave Runner to the Tim Jackson. And two different rim colors black and blue.

The laminates will give more stick definition.

I owned the Quadropad before I bought the Xymox pad, and I absolutely LOVE the Xymox pad! It's a lot better than Vic Firth's in every way... the rims, the tonal holes, the cuts to mount it on a stand, the look, the feel, all so great! In my opinion, it's currently the best tenor pad out there. The only downside is the high price, which isn't actually that much, since you don't have to buy laminates, but shipping adds on to it.
