if ur in high school i would recommend neither seeing as you probably won't be playing bass drum for four years in a row. If you are in a drumcorps (which i kind of doubt, having knowledge of your previous posts) and you play bass drum and you plan on continuing i would get the pad, because its smaller, easier to transport, makes less sound, and you will probably get more use from it. if it were me, I would get neither, and i would get a good vf snare pad.

Get the pad.. The bass drum won't really serve you much purpose. You probably won't use it except to practice on. And you can practice more on the pad without having people getting agrivated from hearing you hit the bass drum over and over again. If its just for practicing purposes, get the pad.

I'm sorry but I have been playing bass my entire high school career and plan on doing it next year as well as a senior. That's 4 years.
I would go with the practice pad as you can always just stay after school to practice on the real drum.

I didn't mean to offend anyone, its just that in our high school bass drum isn't terribly difficult and pretty much everyone just wants to play snare, so anyone on bass drum doesn't really want to stay there, and as such they end up moving on to snare. That's all i was trying to say. Back on topic...get the pad...it's probably cheaper anyways.

Yea, If your just going to practice, get the pad, especailly since if you do plan on going to a drumcorp, their basses are going to feel diffrent then the bass your used to practicing on anyway, With the pad, youve got a good chop builder, and something thatll feel closer to other bass's, then well, another bass, if that makes sense

So, if you buy strait pads, thats only 150 dollars in pads, (100 for the quadropad, 50 for the bass) instead of 300 for a bass, that your just going to stop using if you do move over to multi's
