PROLOGIC Percussion Blue Lightning Practice PAD 10 inches Heavy Resistance vs RTOM WP7 7 inch Moongel Workout PAD


Hi guys!


Studying drums means you ought to practice systematically. Practicing in apartments of multistory building on real drums is almost impossible, since neighbors hear all sounds well because walls and floor are not that perfect in sound isolation. So quite much people are using a pad for practice. 



I had a situation when my neighbors could hear my initial drummer pad on corridor. 



So, I got 3 pads now and I invite you to compare their sound levels.


First pad is FLEET FLT-PP-G8 LUTNER. 7 inches (17cm) in diameter it has less than pound (300g) weight for cost of 20$. It has perfect bouncing.


Second one is PROLOGIC Percussion Blue Lightning Practice PAD 10 inches Heavy Resistance. While its diameter is 10 inches (26cm), weight is solid as well. Its 3 pounds (1.5kg). It costs 50 $. Bouncing is less than perfect. Its quieter than first one. 



Third pad is RTOM WP7 7 inch Moongel Workout PAD. Its diameter is 7 inches (17.7cm), weight is about 1 pound (450g) and cost is 50 $. Its bouncing is much more reduced comparing to second pad. You can’t practice staging of hands on it. And it is the most silent pad.


I really enjoyed all three pads, having all of them is like a drummer fetish. 



And now it’s time to compare their sounds!
