Samplayspiano 1. It depends on what you even play. A drumset player, or even a concert percussion player wouldnt find that a xymox is better than a regular pad. 2. If you want a rim, a xymox lasts about 6 months.
ProLogix is the best practice pad you will ever get, its the most quiet and most responsive its worth every penny you spent on it, I've had my pad for 3 years and its still in good condition.
Very nice product line I will definitely have to look into getting a few of these pads for myself( Russ Miller version) and order a set for my drum line
If you have a pad with to much rebound I can recomend using a mousepad on top! I cut mine out in two layers and glued them on my stagg drumpad! Works really well! alot quiter to!
The products looks really cool. I'm a beginner and my plan is to practice rudiments for several months before getting more gear. So I've been comparing practice pads. - What's the difference between the green and the red rubber? Which one is closer to a real snare drum feel? Which one is recommended for a beginner? - About the Johnny Rabb Signature Ostinato pad, would it be too much a beginner? It looks like it could offer more practice opportunities in the long term.
i'm not a drum player and i wonder why you would buy this ... isn't it better to pratice on the drum ? i mean ok with that there is less sound, but the absorbing surfaces arent overkill in drum practice ?
Hi Thomas, it's not always better to practice on a drum. The first obvious reason is the volume. Many people couldn't practice their rudiments on a snare drum for a very long time out of respect for their family or neighbours. It's not the most pleasant thing for someone else to have to hear constantly. So a pad like this allows them to practice in relative silence for hours on end if they wanted to without disturbing anyone. Another reason would be to build up strength and speed on a softer surface than a drum. That's why they call it the "workout" series of pads. If you were to practice on a soft pad that doesn't have a lot of rebound, your fingers and wrists have to work a little bit harder to compensate for the lack of rebound. So if you practice on a softer surface regularly, when you move over to a real drum, it will seem much easier and you'll be able to play faster and with less effort. It's the same idea as drummers who use thicker, heavier sticks to "work out" with. When they get back to playing on a kit with their regular sticks, they can seem to fly around the kit.
This is our own proprietary design/formula/way of doing things so we cant tell you what its made of.. A question that no body asked for the answer to. WHY do they even mention it if its so secret? If so, at least give us a hint what its made from.
It's just another way of saying, "No one else out there does things the way we do, so no other pad will feel like a Prologix pad". As opposed to your run-of-the-mill rubber pad that's not proprietary and every brand's version will essentially feel and sound the same.
I have the blue 12” practice pad which is really quiet and gives a good workout. Is it possible to buy the pad that goes over it to practice brushes? Thanks.
Even though this video is to showcase his PRODUCTS as opposed to his TECHNIQUE, it doesn't seem to us that his technique has hindered his playing ability at all. His playing is speedy, even, and controlled.
They really need to work on their tenor pad. I had one but after about 4 months of using it a lot the white laminate curled in and eventually came off. Good idea but below-average execution
Walker McDill Thank you for choosing our tenor pad for your practice. Send us an email to contact@prologixpercussion.com in regards to your laminates so we can best assist you with your situation. All the Best!
No, there's the white corps one that only has the zones open, the zonix which was the first one, but you can also get a full one. I don't think it's worth it though unless you're going for aestheitics.
The largest individual pad they make is 14", and we sell that one for $99. So 16" wouldn't be an option. 12" and 10" pads are priced between $65 and $75 each, so for a set of 6 individual pads, you're looking at a total of around $500, plus then you have to figure out a way to mount them all. The tenor pad straight from ProLogix comes with all 6 pads (6", 8", 10", 12", 13", 14") mounted on plywood for $260. It's a much better option.
We don't mention pricing in any of our NAMM videos because the product specialists are almost always from the USA and they don't know Canadian pricing.
Drop by one of our stores and we can order a set of tenor drums in. Our most popular set is the Pearl CMT-8023CX . pearldrum.com/products/marching/competitor-series/cmt-tenor/
Long & McQuade Musical Instruments he was playing like that because bass mallets are heavy. when you switch to the butt it resembles more of the bass mallets than playing on the bead of the stick
That was not on accident. I used the butt end of the stick for more weight since I was playing on marching pads and wanted a heavier feel on the laminated pad surface. Due to the limited time with the video I decided to use the same sticks on every pad. Thank you for your interest and I hope that helps you understand. All the Best with your drumming!
99% of people buying a practice pad want either drum like feel or a the quietest pad possible with reasonable feel. No need for a zillion models with confusing names.
The problem is that you're assuming that all drums feel the same and that all people have the same preferences in terms of feel, volume and size. A drumset drummer might prefer a softer feel whereas a drum corps or marching drummer would prefer a very hard feel. There are also different preferences for volume. Some people are in condos or apartments who would require the quietest pad possible, which in turn is generally the softest pad possible. These are good for quiet practice and "working out" because the pad is so soft, but doesn't actually feel like a real drum. Some people might not have a noise concern, so they'd rather have a harder pad that causes more noise but feels more realistic. And finally, there are people who have different size requirements. Some are students who want a 6" pad to throw in their backpack, or a gigging drummer who can stow a 6" pad in their stick bags to warm up before a show. But some drummers would be looking for a larger pad with more playing surface that stays on a stand and doesn't leave their house. And that's all in reference to their snare pad products, not their tenor or other marching products. The thing we like the most about ProLogix is how comprehensive their product lineup is!
second product. you always play in the center of the drum unless you want a different sound. To get a smaller dynamic lower sticks and play softer. moving to the edge of the drum creates a bad tone
Micaiah Barnett in orchestral snare drum playing its common practice to move out to the edge. In marching percussion I agree completely but the 2nd product is good for orchestral players.
really +donald inglese ? I always thought it was the other way around. unless the piece specifically asks for the player to move to the edge in concert then stay in the middle in my opinion.
Micaiah Barnett from what I've been taught the reason you move to the edge is because no matter how quietly you play it's still gonna be loud in a sense, moving to the edge allows you to play much more quietly. It depends on how you were taught as well I guess, I've always been taught that unless you have a passage that changes dynamics within the same figure you always want to move out to the edge.
Long & McQuade Musical Instruments Long & McQuade Musical Instruments Most 12 inch practice pads are the same price as your 6 inch ones. They're just way too expensive
It is recycled material, that was just a small slip-up by Jason. You can see that the small flecks of colour in the material are tiny chunks of off-cuts from other pads.
Yup, that picked up from at least 50' away, while the only mics running are his headset mic 2" from his mouth and a shotgun mic pointed straight at the pads. That's a loud china!
