nope...Pad is for practicing. My pad has beads in it that make the snare sound. It sounds really tight but be careful on developing pad hands.

Just an update on this new pit instrument, I know for a fact that Target, Kohls, and grocery bags will work also. You need to experiment to find the sound your looking for. I am now taking a big plastic shopping bag and working on tuning the bag to resemble a bass drum.............to be continued.
Lol, One guy makes a new type of pad... one thing leads to another... and tommorow's drumlines use walmart bags instead of kevlar heads on their drums... lol... good luck with cranking that thing.
It is a novel idea, though, for people that can't afford an X-Pad and want a more realistic sound.

The paper thing is good, but the quality comes from the Walmart bag, its such perfection..........hahahaha.
I'm now working on repairing old bass rims, and stretching large bags over them, still having some problem tuning them. But I think I am onto something good here.........to be continued after solving tuning problem.

I don't like those pads with the beads inside it. Why is it important that a practice pad sound like a snare? If it were, they'd call them "performance pads" or something. It's just for the feel... and for portability. And QUIETNESS, sometimes. Not for the sound. Thats just IMO.
