#140645 - 04/04/07 12:58 PM moongel pad
EnigmaticRonin Registered: 11/27/04 Loc: Los Angeles, CA	So I recently bought the moongel workout pad (14 inches) but I didn't read the product description well, so I did not notice it does not come with a wooden base. Oh well, I'm sure I can put it flat on something and it's all good right? My question is that the moongel pad is wrapped in a plastic covering. I'm not sure if this plastic wrapping is from packaging or is it meant to protect the pad from collecting dirt/or something like that? _________________________ UCLA Tenorline 06-08

DCI_Dreamer Registered: 11/13/04 Loc: Weslaco, TX	It stays on, and it's there for good. By the way, I've had the problem of the pad coming out of the base itself. Not a real problem, but just so you know, it happens. Just place it back in when if it pops out a little. _________________________ Imperial Percussion Theater-Snare http://www.myspace.com/crossmensnare

Drumsrule Registered: 04/21/07	I think you should keep the platic on, because they have practice moongel practice pads at the music store that I take lessons at, and they have plastic over it.

JoeD Registered: 06/05/07	All it feels like is playing on a pillow.... sorta Its just a practice pad with absolutley no rebound. It does have a 'gelly' feel to it.

Shoesinadryer1 Registered: 11/07/04 Loc: Florida	I have the 14 inch one. It's a different feel for a practice pad and, depending on what kind of surface you have it on, the rebound is strange. Quote: i got the smaller one, however many inches that may be. my snare instructor said to NOT practice double stroke rolls, but single stroke rolls He says that with good reason. The rebound on the pad makes you change the way you hold and play with the stick doing doubles and diddles. _________________________ I remember the silences, and I remember the screams... of the home stands going wild and the feeling of dreams.

KDraque Registered: 05/06/08 Loc: Ohio	Does anyone have a better picture of one? 'Cause all I can find is that one with the bead touching it and showing how soft it is. I want a pic of the whole thing. Maybe I'm just not looking hard enough. Anyone got one? _________________________ Freshman- Fall '06-Bass 4, Winter '07-Tenors Sophomore- Fall '07-Tenors, Winter '08 Tenors Drums are sweet ma' man...

DigitalDrummer Registered: 10/03/06 Loc: TX	dont take off the outer covering. I'm not familiar with the pad, but moongels are sticky and get dirty easily. That plastic is there for a reason. _________________________ Alamo Heights H.S. '05-'06 - Bass (2nd) '06-'07 - Snare '07-'08 - Tenors '08-'09 - Tenors (Percussion S.L.)

KDraque Registered: 05/06/08 Loc: Ohio	It's a plank of wood and then the moongel stuff on top of it. So from my understanding is isn't floppy, CrashCrimson.

KDraque Registered: 05/06/08 Loc: Ohio	Actually to completely contradict myself, the pad is floppy, haha. Sorry. The pics I saw totally gave me the impression it was on a plank of wood. But it's not. You have to sit it on something. I saw one tonight at a friend's house. So, sorry for being so dumb, haha. _________________________ Freshman- Fall '06-Bass 4, Winter '07-Tenors Sophomore- Fall '07-Tenors, Winter '08 Tenors Drums are sweet ma' man...

xp4nd00bi3x blank Registered: 08/13/07 Loc: TX	this website says that the smaller 7" one comes with the base. so it's basically a practice pad. But the 14" one is just the gel which you place on top of a snare drum. here's a link: http://www.drumworld.com/catalog_type.asp?PRODUCTTYPE=ARXMO
