Great Pad
"Has a very good feel. Similar to a marching snare but not exact. It is one of the louder pads out there, but it is very articulate and helps to hear inner notes and note spacing very well."

"Great pad I got it back in 2024 and it is one of my favorite pads to use. It’s light and portable and it sounds great especially with the laminate. Yes, it’s a little pricey but overall great pad 10/10!"
