Mike_L Registered: 01/27/06 Loc: Springfield Oregon, USA	Originally Posted By: MCPWayne2005 Originally Posted By: Mike_L Currently I own a 6" Pro-Mark X Pad with a snare cartridge, and a 12" double-sided HQ Real Feel. I've also owned the 12" double-sided Vic-Firth pad. Out of those three, I like the HQ the most because there is a significant difference between the soft side and the hard side, whereas the two sides on the Vic Firth pad don't have as much of a difference. That's interesting about the reel feel, which side do you play on mostly? I think the idea is for there to be little to know difference seeing as drum pads are supposed to mock an actual drum. I try to play on both sides of my real feel equally. Basically what I was saying was, the HQ hard side is signifacantly harder than the VF hard side. That's why I chose it. When I used the VF pad, I got nearly as much rebound on the hard side as I did with the soft side.

scchsdrummer blank Registered: 01/03/08 Loc: Odenville, Alabama USA	agreed. if u feel ur current pad is doing its job well enough i wouldn't get another. lil off topic but. i ordered a VF HH Quadropad from steve weiss 2 days ago. and not that im in a rush im just curious as to what their normal shipment speed is. normally when i've ordered things from like musicians friend it'll tell u "expect product in 2 - 3 business weeks" etc. but i didn't see that anywhere so i am curious. _________________________ Saint Clair County High School Drumline: Sophmore '08 - '09 Tenors Pirates of the Caribbean The Curse of the Black Pearl Freshman '07 - '08 Bass 4 (bottom) The Sound of Patriotism 8th Grade '06 - '07 Cymbals Earth Wind & Fire

Pantera0001 Registered: 12/19/07 Loc: the lonestar state	After trying many many pads & owning 6, I came to this conclusion. The best pad is the one that you like practicing with the most. If it keeps you practicing, then it's the best in my opinion.

9Volt Registered: 02/12/08 Loc: OH-IO	No, steve weiss came faster then two weeks, I ordered on a friday, so once everything was checked in, yadda yadda. I got my tenor book on a thursday. Their pretty good about getting stuff to you in time. _________________________ My favorite YouTube comment On the subject of a bad tenor player Quote: just to let you guys know, being a drummer, he meant to hit the rims, it's part of the effect. It changes it up a bit.
