Electronic drums are comprised of two components the brain or trigger
module, and the pads what the user plays on. It seems everyone has tried to
package a complete electronic set
only to fall short on the main component! The pad kit and rack the stuff
you play all the time. While advancements have gone through the roof on
realistic sounds at a bargin price. The pad kits offered by Roland,
Alesis,and Yamaha all fall short in quality durability and basic design.
What is important in a drum pad?
IMPORTANT PAD FEATURES
1)FEEL. A soft natural gum rubber pad will give the best feel, quitest
response and a natural rebound (Compare for yourself) A stiff non
resiliant pad will only hinder your playing and desire to perform.
2)DURABILITY is not far behind feel .Pads should be proven to take abuse
and last a lifetime .(What big tours use them? You wont see tours choosing
product that does'nt hold up. )
3)ACCESABILITY. Can you get to the parts if a problem occurs or do you have
to ship them back to the manufacturer? This is a major issue, there is
nothing worse than a broken pad wire you cant get to.
4)MOUNTING. Can you position your pads in any place at any angle?
Most manufacturers choose off the shelf acoustic drum hardware giving less
flexability in mounting .Remember electronic drums are not acoustic and
have a whole different set of delemas in mounting.
5) PRICE.There isnt much inside a electronic drum pad. You pay for the
design the way it mounts, the way it feels,the way it responds and the
reputation of the company who makes them. Use your own judgement dont let
the salesman sell you whats in stock.
6)ZONES: Do you need multiple zones on your pads?This issue means different
things to different users. Some Roland users enjoy the two zone switching
feature so much they are willing to sacrafice all other features for it.
While many other users do velocity shifting to achieve the two zone effect
on a single zone pad .
