Rudimental Drummers Pads - feels like a real drum? 

man, such genuine and high quality reviews. glad to see dci vets keeping the art in their lives.

A day when a new SnareMan video drops is always a good one

As an ambassador for Rudimental Drummers, I have to say I really appreciate your thorough review of the product AND the company. Rene and Daan have created wonderful products and are very active in promoting the rudimental drumming community all over the world. I feel like your review was spot on and honestly highlighted all the great qualities of these pads along with the things that could be sticking points like the cost and weight (and wait, lol) but also pointed out the justified reasons for these. I personally started with the rope tension pad, but also use the travel pad and the pipe band pad. Thanks again for a great review. I just subscribed, looking forward to more of your content.

Such great reviews. So very descriptive!

his rolls are so smooth holy

I just found out about these pads. They look really fun to play on and the quality looks amazing. If you make another pad review, I recommend the Carlos Botello marching snare pad by Beetle Percussion! Great video btw, very informative and great commentary.

Finally, a new pad video

Great review, very informative! Thanks!!

Sound quality for days! 🔥

that roll quality DAMN

I've been drumming for 37 years, and am concentrating on the corps style rudimental drumming. My field snares are so loud, and am looking for the best pad for training. Thank you for doing these reviews! BTW, your playing is great!

I ordered one after watching this video. Thanks

Thanks for doing these

can you do a video of you showing what’s under the head?

Thank you.

can you please do a review on british drum company's practice pad

hey, can i get the sheets for the sheets for the excerpt that you played at 5:42? totally fine if not, just if its convenient. thanks! edit: nevermind! just did my first snare transcription on that lick actually, and its pretty easy!

I have a few questions about the pad in general, I've been thinking about getting one for a while, I just don't know if I want to fork out $170 for something. Like what's the durability on them and considering it's actual drum hardware, do you have to maintain it? I also feel like this could be done if you just took off the shell and bottom head / rim of a marching snare, and rested the tensioned head on a piece of wood or something. Do you think that that would give me an accurate representation of how the pad would feel? Or is the playing surface tensioned down as well?

Oh yeah!

How about that blue coat alumni parade. I live in Massillon Ohio same county as canton Ohio where the blue coats are. Will there be an actual performance for that where I can go watch.

can i get a link to the drum kit you have behind you on your right? its actually very dope

Since it’s been a while since this review, which pad do you find yourself playing on as your main squeeze? I did purchase the drumcore RD pad, and I LOVE IT. I haven’t used anything else since I’ve purchased it. When I move from the RD to a real drum. I feel like my hands feel a lot better, and my hands don’t feel stiff.

Hey @snareman, after having dealt with this product for a while, do u think that it’s still worth it In 2024?, im looking forward to getting one but I want a pad that will last me a while, do u think that it’s durable enough to last years?

do you think youll review the vic firth slim pad w/ its laminate?

Im still trying to find the pad that doesn’t absorb too much to where I can still get used to making use of rebound, however not too much to where it doesn’t help me develop my muscles and chops, got any suggestions?

SnareMan makes great content

You should review the artifact drum pad you I think it would be a great video

Great review, Thanks. I really like the mini "Beatles Drum" you have - where can I get it?

Dude! Where did you get that Neil Peart scale model kit in the background?

quick question, if we were disregarding the price would you recommend this over the offworld? im assuming you would since well yk

have you reviewed the "drumslinger" very similar like the rudimental?

On the playing the pad section did you play a Bluecoats piece from awhile ago

Where you get that drumset in the back I want that for my desk so bad

I’m sure you’ve been asked before, but what sticks do you like to use the most?

Would you review the ahead s hoop pad and compare it to the xymox pad? That’d be a good comparison video

Can you review a drumslinger drumpad and The Carlos botello drumpad please

I recommend you to know the MP DRUM PADS BRASIL pads, they are great pads, as good as xymox and with more sound

Can you do a review on the drumslinger pad

Which one has more rebound? V4 invader or the RD Pad?

Hi.. does the chop pad have almost the same feel and performance to the corps pad.. you should try their other pads and compare all

I wish you would have taken the head off to show the internals, especially the actual rim the head sits on. You have done that previously and it really shows construction details.

I always drop by your channel for drumpads! I am still looking for the best “one” practice pad for marching. To put more weight to my feedback, I own almost every single pad out there. Just have a strange thing for them. I am not biased and I understand marching guys favour the laminate top pads given they are more articulate. That being said, they sound cheap, loud and harsh to hear to the mass. Best Overall to the mass (drumset & marching) - Offworld Percussion V3 (no beads or VML) Best combination if only 2 pads for the mass - Evans Real Feel (Red) / quiet & feels nice - & Vic Firth Slim Pad / articulate Both are portable and lays down well on lap. Marching guys are likely going to choose something with laminate. Again sounds like garbage. You might as well play on your countertop. - beetle percussion / carlos might be the favourite and is different especially rim shots. Double sided. However, I still feel invader v3 is the all time great. Not the absolute best but its always going to be top 3. Good to note heavy marching sticks vs traditional drumset size and tip will change sound and feel a bit but that was tsken into consideration. The rest all sound kinda the same and a ripoff from: 1. Vic Firth/Real Feel 2. Xymox (hate to give these guys credit) 3. Invader V3 w/VML Pads I own Roland drumset Drumeo - multi layered Real Feel (original & red) Remo - absolute garbage and loud Ahead Beetle - original rubber marching, bus & carlos Xymox - stay away. If you have an order, just forward your email to cresit card company. They will reverse it for you. Both beads & hybrid Offworld - V3 (w/ & w/o vml), hybrid, outlander Vader Tama Vic firth - stock and slim (& option of laminate) Drumslinger RCP - beads & hybrid Prologix - green, red, marching Mad practice pad Drumco all in one

is it has the same feeling as drumslinger percussion pad?

Could you imagine if offworld made this style pad? Underneath the head is just cork and gum rubber. Imagine if it was offworld Dark Matter, cork and the the head on top. I would imagine it would be a very realistic feel

Been wondering about these types of pads! Heard that drumslinger is about as reliable as xymox.

what sticks are those? are those tom raricks?

unrelated to the pad… your sound quality is great!

Is it possible to change the head on the corps pad?

If you add the cost of the marching snare rim, tensioning rods, machined plywood and head, the overall cost is not out of line. I trust the quality and your vote of confidence. It will be the next pad I add to my collection.

Just found this video, if you still have them, would you stick a mesh head on them and let people know.

May ask, what is under the head that gives it's feel

Do you think it’s comparable to a ram pad?

Have you reviewed drumslingers?

So much 🗣️Play the damn thing already !

Can I ask why you don't tape your sticks?

What stand do you use?

How would you compare this pad company to DrumSlinger?

What Pad should I get? I kind of want a snare feel but idk if xymox is any good

Dude has a very staccato style of stick control highly suited for militant style corp snare

Do a drumslinger review next.

What marching snare drum is that?

Any drummer that knows how to cut plywood should be able to make these themselves. I made one in ‘96.

LMAO, that Xymox shade 😂

How can i contact them

These pads look amazing and I would love to have one but there is no way I’m paying over 185 dollars for one of those.

wow u know what i think i will but that drum corp pad bcz im marching boston crusaders 2024 this season and i really wanna imress my fans with that drum corp pad

at least you get the pad you purchase vs xymox you dont and its quality..... my laminate and gum rubber came off 2 months of use. and paint chipped on day 1 of use

Expensive pads. What I highly suggest for anyone in a drumline see if your drumline has any old snares and take off the floating head, but keep the head on it. You just made a DIY RD pad but it's more realistic and didn't pay a thing.

So it’s just a drum head and rim on plywood? Hmmm

With a few old drum parts, one could DIY this for less than $20.

That music seems familiar. Hmmm.

Hmmm some of those beats sound familiar 🤔

I just use my marching snare it’s better than any pad I have

Both these pads look to be almost the exact same design as the ones from Drumslinger. Hopefully these guys actually deliver on their customer service, and not go dark after taking money from their customers while running "flash sales". 😒

When he is drumming, he kinda looks like Homer Simpson

1:05 we all know the one

Xymox Drum ORDER #3346!! Refund or fulfill order!!I feel cheated right now. I placed an order in December 2022 and have not yet received my order. I asked for a refund, but I checked my email and didn't reply. I'm going to die
