These mini pads are great! As usual the highest quality product from Prologix, and extremely portable! Perfect for travel or tossing in your stick bag. Will be gifting them to my students and friends this holiday season!
No regrets. Great prpduct,
I have the black pad (great for warming up), the green pad (hardest surface/most rebound) and this one which I’m using mostly at the moment. Black one is a bit intense for long workouts, but this one feels great! Just flip any of these pads over and place a head on top to practice brush playing.
estoy muy contento con el pad, la cara negra es muy buena para trabajar esfuerzo y muy silenciosa, la parte roja es muy similar a un cuerpo real, la parte inferior no la trabajé mucho pero parece igualmente buena, muy conforme con la compra, muy recomendable! gracias por todo!!! espero probar otros pads, saludos
I thought I would give an actual review of this pad, seeing how there are practically no reviews over this product.
Overall - Great PORTABLE Practice Pad.
It has a decent sound on the thicker side and a great articulate sound on the thinner side. Almost comparable to that of the Evans Realfeel double sided pad.
This is a great pad to have on the fly in many situations such as: on the bus, at rehearsal and want to get a quick hands warmup before block starts, at the airport waiting for your flight (or arrive early) for WGI or DCI auditions, or even just general practice. If you’re sitting, it sits on your knees nicely and doesn’t slide around like a standard pad would (and not as awkward to sit with). It also fits really nice into a backpack and doesn’t feel awkward like having a circular pad in your backpack.
The pad doesn’t have as great of rebound as you’d expect (which is kind of the main idea of prologix pads) where you have to put a little more force into the stick to get a full rebound.
If you’re looking to play on a pad that may potentially build your chops (enhance your chops stamina) then this may be the pad for you. If you need a “cheap whatever” pad, then this one might not be for you, there are for sure cheaper options.
It is a tad on the pricey side which initially deterred me (also considering how small the product is), but upon arrival, I was impressed with the quality of the product. The rubber is high quality and the wooden body is well sanded and very smooth. The handle is kinda awesome too, very unique design in my opinion.
Final Takeaways:
If you have a bigger budget, this is a pretty nice pad.
If you like the extra resistance in the pad, go for it.
If you need a very portable pad for whatever reason in any situation, this is a pretty good option.
Excellent product if you’re a snare drummer, decent product if you’re a quad/bass drummer. (It actually fits perfectly on top of a snare drum!)
Solid product, great quality, neat design, very practical and portable. I definitely recommend it as a good portable pad choice!!
