I completely agree with SkyDog, (sorry Aaronicus) but those mallets don't give you any real feel at all. I've used those exact mallets (MT1A) on the heavy hitter quadropad I have. It's just no fun. Sticks work the best, I just kinda used whatever sticks were next to it, haha, but I'm sure vegas would even work on them, although I haven't tried it (don't quote me on it) but yeah, sticks. Use those.
Peace.

I disagree. Vegas do "work" on a pad, but I think they feel almost as bad as mallets. Better to get some snare sticks, or possibly some hardimon tenor sticks for pad use, IMO.

Agreed.

Vegas, IMO, feel terrible on a pad.

They're also seeing a lot less time on the field with my team- we're just getting better performance out of other models.

i wouldnt go for either
dont buy a drum if youre not gonna play it for more that a couple years
the pad is really only good to fix technique and to see your hands...it is not good for chop building or to get used to the rebound
you can get tenor pads at steveweissmusic.com samash.com or columbuspercussion.com if you want the vic firth one

i recomend the xymox murray gusseck signature pad its snugglebunny like the Yamaha or promark pads with the feel of it but it has raised areas between the drums to act as "rims" to practice your sweeps

I wouldn't. They have assorted problems( laminates breaking without replacements) and just don't have the versatility of a heavy hitter quadropad (with laminates, i HIGHLY recommend those).
