@@brandonhall4631 Still using it to this day. Highly recommend

@@do8671 When I ordered mine I didn’t see that as an option, but might be worth reaching out to Mapex for. That actually sounds pretty sick.

I’m not a huge fan of hydraulic thrones but I’d imagine the DW one would be a solid choice

Tama or Gibraltar depends how much you wanna spend

@@mivuboy8335 It doesn’t. As long as you have it on a rug thats not too thick and have the spikes out under the pad and under the pedals it goes nowhere. I play mostly heal up

@@its_jonramirez cool thanks! 😊

Do you mean what size? The thickness is probably whatever is standard. Although everything just seems better build than most kits ive owned

Thank you

Really? That interesting. I haven't had any issues with that myself because I also sink in my beaters typically. Maybe you could try practicing with those tennis ball beaters. I know they're a bit lighter but you might get more sinking action out of those just for practice purposes.

@@its_jonramirez thanks... I figured I just had to adjust my Demon Direct Drive pedals. It's all good now.

The gels from this video just started losing their stickiness. Now they're flying all over the place when I play haha!

Laquer

@@its_jonramirez awesome...

@@its_jonramirez seems like a great kit for the money.... Probably gonna purchase one this coming year

@@jroc6166 I think its top notch! Definitely recommend!

Yeah! I honestly don't mind it un muffled

I would honestly get the Evan’s. Just my personal preference though.

appreciate the response, was leaning that way, cheers@@its_jonramirez

I would say the Evans. Only down side is it's not very adjustable but it feels better and I find it to be quieter. I have the full review video on my channel

@@its_jonramirez cool man, I’ll check it out! 👍🏻

❤

Very true.

Hmm interesting. All the photos i've seen of of the kick pad have it set up like mine in the video and even if the end of the support goes under it doesn't look like much of a height difference. Did you read this in a manual somewhere? Just curious.

But the height is not adjustable?

No water. Just towels and polish

Thank you! Could be the algorithm. Who knows? I had fun making it at least haha!

Maybe! Glad you like it! Kinda just came up with that on the fly lol

Yeah! I’ve seen the Pearl one before. Not too bad either

Absolutely love it! Kit is still rockin!

@@its_jonramirez Okay, right on. Because I just ordered the same, exact kit, just with a couple extra toms. Glad to hear that you're having a good experience with yours. 🤘

@@ryancox5097 Dude thats awesome! Honestly man its the best kit ive ever owned and really dont foresee ever getting rid of it . Absolutely love it. I think you will too.

Interesting! Ill have to check those out.

Hey Aaron! Ive definitely been there. Super annoying. Here's what works for me: Always have your set up on some carpet. Make sure the carpet isn't too thick. Bushy carpet or carpet thats too soft won't work. There should be some knobs on your kick pedal boards, both the left and the right, that lower little spikes them from sliding. They don't need to be all the way out, just far enough to where the pedals stay in place. If your pedals have velcro at the bottom thats an added bonus. If they don't you should be able to find Velcro strips from a store somewhere that you can peel off and stick. Im not sure what practice pad you have but so far all the ones i've come across also have the spikes, just like the pedals. Some even have the same velcro I mentioned before. Having the spikes and velcro for support on your pedals and your practice pad should keep everything stable. This setup has never really given me any problems. Hope this helps!

Definitely! ❤

Yeah....

Thank you sir!

@@its_jonramirez For sure man. Just glad you didn't drop it on the floor during the unboxing. Lol. I got an Armory series last year for an all around and gigging kit. Couldn't be happier.

@@chrisfreeman4957 Yeah man! Mapex makes really good stuff.

Oh wow! I didn't even think about putting the screw in from the bottom. Thanks for the tip! Also, i'm not sure what you mean by the support metal rod. Do you mean the rod the lug screw goes into?

@@its_jonramirez yeah basically the rod goes underneath the base and not on top. It is kind of sandwiched between the screw at the bottom and the base if that makes sense?

@@b00mski Ooooh okay. So the lip on the end of the rod where the screw goes would go underneath the base instead of on top. Interesting 😀I supposes that would help a little bit with the height.

Like this kzbin.infonspY4Q0ZwgE?feature=share helps with centering and proper beater angle / distance 🤙

That's how the pad is supposed to be set up. The reason the pad was so high, there was no clearance for the drum key, and the beaters were overextended past 90 degrees when he hit the pad was because of how it was set up.

Thanks! Glad you liked it! 😁
