the remo tunable pad is worse than a table 💀

[@ronaldgabrieljuan8624]

I love practice pad and stick review. Maybe you should do a stick tier list in the near future

[@TheMerryPup]

I lucked out a little more than a year ago. I found an old tan RealFeel pad in excellent condition for just a little over $100, (with shipping). Looking at the prices they’re going for lately, I definitely got lucky. Great review!

[@JayKayEllEmm]

I got myself a Remo tunable pad (because it was all my local music store had) and it WILL NOT stay in place. I’m gonna end up spending however much I have to spend on one of those screw in stands just so it’ll stop moving all the time and I can actually use it.

My friend has a gray SPL pad that feels absolutely amazing

I can appreciate your effort and I had no idea there were this many pads out there. I am an old school kit drummer and when I first began playing 5.5 decades ago I had a pair of Regal Tip 7a drumsticks a guy gave me. We were a family of very modest means and an actual drum would not come until 3 years later. An old blue chair cushion and the mattress on my bed were my playing surfaces. I tried the wooden chair now and again but I got grief from my Mom. You are a very talented drummer and your many levels above what I can do. However even now I still play on the mattress. My home in Florida has about 11-12 acoustic kits and a couple E drum kits. In San Diego I have nothing here except sticks. But my point is this: There is a benefit to playing on a “dead surface” such as the mattress. Your required to lift the stick and than repeat each and every stroke. Sitting on my bed cross legged and resting my forearms on my legs, I have only 2 movements; my wrists and my fingers. This in turn develops pretty impressive speed and stick control. When I lift my forearms up I can move my arms back and forth across the surface of the mattress. So without reading charts I will start with a left stick on the left side of the mattress and do single, double, or triple stroke rolls moving across to the right and ending with the right stick. I than start with the right stick and move back to the left. You get the idea. A firm cushion or the mattress. Anytime, any place, you bother no one and the cost is a pair of sticks. Try it.

For the algorithm✋

xymox pads are GOATED. they just f'd up on customer service. still tho, they make the best pads i've owned. best tenor pads, snare pads, even that table thing they made, great shit. just FIX YOUR CUSTOMER SERVICE XYMOX!!! the most recent order i made was the tenor kick pads, i ordered it in july and got it the next month. from the 4 orders i have made these past 3 years, they have all come in within a couple months of the order.

Maybe my old fart educator vibe is showing. But the Remo tunable practice pad is still being made, and is still finding its way into the hands of drum students across the country and around the world. Generations of drummers played their first strokes on this pad, and many of us kept using it all through high school and college. In the time before marching-specific pads even existed, this was the ONLY pad that could offer anything resembling an actual drum. Given a choice between this and the gray Evans rubber pad, I’d give my student the ten-inch version of the Remo and call it good. in the modern era, there are still kids who cannot afford a marching-specific pad. Most of those are overpriced for what you get, environmentally unsustainable, and they don’t last as long. At least with the Remo pad, the head can be changed, saving money (and resources!) over a longer period of time. If you want to trash a pad, trash the Gladstone style pad, which STILL comes with many entry-level student snare drum kits and is atrocious to play. But the Remo pad still has a place in the practice ad arena, or Remo wouldn’t still be making and selling them in the millions.

The Remo "Tunable" pad is the bane of my existence. For years this has been the pad that comes with all of the beginner drum kits for school bands. Now some of the manufacturers are starting to go with a much better rubber pad option. Pearl has a great rubber pad and it is smaller and very well made. Ludwig has started doing this as well with their own version. Dear Remo- stick to making drum heads and please stop manufacturing a pad that sounds like a wet show box! I know this has been the pad of choice for so many years, but let's move on to the present. Now.

[@DennisJohnsonDrummer]

Drumslinger Corps Pad or Marcher Pad. Very responsive and built like a tank.

[@leanbringer]

ikea adjustable stool beats all of these

[@thebarak]

Wow you bought all of these? Very personal of course. For example, I love the Vic Firth Stockpad (Your C) and dislike their Slimpad (Your A). I like them not too hard, not too soft, with the same feel as a snare drum. The very soft "workout pads" I just don't get, and the very hard marching pads are from an irrelevant world for me. I once got into a NAMM show and spent hours with any pad I could find. The Stockpad was for me.

[@RodrigoVegaHurtado]

What about Meinl ?

[@_alexely]

It’s actually pronounced “eelee” ;)

[@2jzean]

What would you rank the offworld invader w/ a laminate?

[@rosco9254]

The OLD Remos with the metal housing were pretty good. I wouldn't say they were better than the beige RealFeels of a generation later, but they were pretty good. When Remo went to the plastic housing, it became trash. Sadly, I have no idea what happened to my metal one. Its one of the few things I've lost that I have tried to keep up with. I must have loaned it out and not gotten it back.
