L&M @ NAMM 2019: Prologix Percussion Practice Pads

[@samneal7566]

I thought I would give some of my opinions on the workout series to help you guys out from a marching drummers perspective. The green logix with marching sticks feels like a mix between a real feel and a slim pad with an only gum rubber surface. With concert sticks it feels okay but not very satisfying. It does have a very good rebound similar to a mylar marching snare head but not kevlar. The red storm feels REALLY good. With concert sticks and marching sticks it gives a a real good feel like its a drum (from a drumset). it consists of 1/2 foam on the bottom and 1/2 gum rubber on top and it feels really nice and natural. it reminds me of a slightly softer real feel. It is my personal favorite. The blue lightning was not for me personally. It is basically a slim pad with foam instead of gum rubber so basically it feels very similar to the underside of a slim pad. It's not great with marching sticks but decent with concert sticks in my opinion. Lots of people do enjoy this pad though and it's very quiet. The blackout actually felt pretty good. It feels good with any sticks and is extremely quiet. It feels like a floor tom pretty much some it won't have very much rebound but its just enough that it feels good. It consists of a half inch or so of harder foam. this one feels better than the blue lightning in my opinion. I personally bought the 2 pack that have a playing surface on each side which is around 60-70 dollars and is a great deal if you want to wait to see what you prefer when getting a bigger pad from Prologix. This is a great company and I would highly recommend their workout series.

Thank you,I’ve been trying to get one of these pads but I had no idea what the resistance meant and this video did a great job a showing it

[@longandmcquade]

Glad it was helpful!

[@davlod70]

I have the all in one. There is no way. Prologix is the best!

[@FelixG2070]

Love my red storm .. kudos for the review👍

[@longandmcquade]

Glad you liked it!

[@YourFriendlyAlan]

Hey, what is the hardware that is holding the resistence pads?

[@handler803]

Can anyone tell me what cymbal stand was used to mount the pads of the practice kit?

[@longandmcquade]

Pearl CH830S.

[@handler803]

@@longandmcquade thanks! If possible, care to do an instructional video on how to set up the practice kit?

[@longandmcquade]

@@handler803 We actually don't have any in stock yet. It's just been added to our system, but we likely won't get any until customers show interest by placing orders.

[@mattmarkus4868]

@@longandmcquade Do you have a complete list of stands/models so I can replicate this?

[@mattmarkus4868]

@@handler803 great question. so frustrating. this is called a kit and I was expecting stands. Now all I want to know is what exactly do I buy to replicate this. There's a million stands and attachments out there. I don't have time to experiment, I just want to know (but buying the complete setup would be ideal)

[@lauxane]

Thank you, it was a good sound of train station !!

[@longandmcquade]

We know you're being facetious, but if you've ever been to NAMM or any convention centre during an event with 100,000+ people inside, you'd understand how loud it is in there. Especially in the drum section of Hall D. We were stoked to pick up the quiet tapping of the practice pads with our mics at all! If the sounds of the practice pads were any louder, they wouldn't be any good!

[@jamesconnors5653]

Set is very cool.

[@Clipmations]

Are you still able to get the tenor pads with white and red??

[@longandmcquade]

Yes these are still available for order from your local Long & McQuade.

[@Clipmations]

Long & McQuade Musical Instruments on your website I am unable to find the tenor pads and sadly I do not live near a long McQuade

[@qstrife]

what stands does he have for the practice kit?

[@longandmcquade]

He's using a collection of Pearl hardware. bit.ly/38wOe7r

[@davidbcg286]

Great product line. The CRASH pad would be great in 10" :p (a more portable multi-surface pad)

[@zackmagruder2320]

I wanna see new fender stuff please

[@mattmarkus4868]

I can't find the practice kit. Is this a whole kit? If not, what exactly are you using for hardware? I need this

[@longandmcquade]

The Practikit is a 5-piece set of pads for $335. The hardware (Pearl) and cymbals (Zildjian Low Volume) are sold separately.

[@mattmarkus4868]

@@longandmcquade are they all snare stands, what adjustments or accessories do you need? I don’t want to buy stuff and then realize the pads don’t connect to whatever arm or stand or accessory I randomly choose.

[@mattmarkus4868]

@@longandmcquade it would be really helpful to show how to put a practice pad kit together. There are almost no videos on this. It might be easy if you’re familiar with all the gear but many are not and the options seem endless.

[@mattmarkus4868]

I just purchased the 4-pad package with the bass drum pad from ProLogix. I notice there are threaded holes for mounting these pad!. Can you tell me what I can use for stands with these holes? I bought 4 hh stands and that was a waste because I cannot get the height levels I need (particularly for the high hat). I need to know what I stand parts I can screw in to have these pads on stands. In this video, there's a tiny one in the back I see for a split second and it shows a rod on a stand sticking into a pad. What is that? There are dozens of stands/brands out there, but I don't know what to get that will work. I want one of my pads to be set like a hi hat above and to the left of my "snare" pad.

[@Duder-1]

Love it👍🏻

[@Clipmations]

How do I clean my prologix pads

[@longandmcquade]

We'd start with warm water and mild dish soap on a white terry-cloth towel.

[@Clipmations]

@@longandmcquade alright thx for the help

[@davidmcaninch4714]

Is anyone allowed to go to NAMM?

[@longandmcquade]

No, it is a closed trade show. Only manufacturers, suppliers, distributors, retailers, etc attend NAMM, as well as media personnel, endorsers and artists. If you know anyone who does attend, you can be an invited guest, but it's not like other conventions where anyone can purchase a ticket to attend.

[@adamjacksonmedia]

It’s not a practice kit. They are simply selling 4 practice pads, and telling you, the customer, to buy and build your own kit.

[@temskee]

should also make the cymbals practice pad... nobody makes cymbals practice pad

[@erraticboss168]

ive seen some around, forgot the name

[@rhythmfield]

Quiet cymbals are pretty good substitute practice cymbals. Any practice pad is a ‘cymbal practice pad,’ Just mount it at the position and angle where you prefer Cymbals, and there you are. Hi hats are another issue…

[@rhythmfield]

The best practice pads on the market today - I love the overlays, the brush surface overlay, softer rubber overlay, the variety is fantastic.
