So frustrating when people label a video a 'review' but in actuality it's merely a summary of product features and pricing. Thanks for the waste of time
Ehhh.....I feel you, but I wouldn't go that far. I agree that calling it a review is a step too far, because it's not a full fledged review. But it did put me on game to pass that I didn't know existed (I gave away my drum pad to a close friend, so I'm in the market for a new one, and I wanna see what's out there). So I'd say it depends on what you're looking for, or what you need. That said, I understand your qualms fully, because I've been there. It's like a friggin box opening, lol; it doesn't really do anything for me. 😂 But this video isn't _that_ level of useless imo.
@@ehrengross Excellent and good luck with it! One really good use for it it is to work through The All American Drummer, (150 snare solos - Ludwig Publishing) which is a legendary drum book.

I have his first Prologix pad. This updated one is better, but, he removed the option to screw on his Groove wedges. But I’m sure you can mod the new one, if you were interested
Thank you for the review. I’m just getting into drumming (after many years playing the guitar), and before I saw this video I didn’t know these things even existed! I can start learning anywhere now!👍
My absolute favorite practice pad is the Vic Firth 12-inch pad, the one that looks like a decagon (or at least I think that’s the shape). What I love about it is that it’s responsive, it sounds great, and it’s surprisingly light for being a 12-inch pad. I have a Vater pad at my dad’s that’s also 12 inches, and it’s got a bit of heft to it.
I know im asking randomly but does anybody know a method to log back into an instagram account..? I was dumb forgot the account password. I would love any tips you can give me!
I love the evans realfeel, i use the pad and the kick pedal pad for a small setup in my room for working out patterns and drills, plus a full kit setup/ studio in a different area, the pad gets me everything i need for working on different ideas quickly and quietly, 100% worth the money
Try the red pro logix pad next time than. The black is their softest one. You will prob find the red will strike the happy medium between your real feel and black out pad.
i got it. and is awesome!! prologix all in one. the main surface has a fabri finish like evans pad but a little more bouncy. the secod surface is like sound off drum mutes, but little thiner and the feel response is more like a snaredrum and the brushes surface is a plastic with drumhead finish. perfect practice pad
I have the Evans real feel two sided. The other side is a harder black rubber that is definitely louder and provides more spring. I love it. I'm getting the p4 soon too. It's free if you start with drumeo right now! (May '21).
Somewhat i feel that the real comparison is missing from the video... Being a person that wants to start in drumming, I still have the question of what should I buy... The video could be a bit more conclusive and the reviewer could have given the personal opinion to what to buy in each situation. Questions like: - Should I buy a multi surface pad like the P4 or just go for the Evans? - Comparing the Evans with the Prologix Russ Miller, is its worth the Prologix just to practice the rim shots as the Evans might not allow(!?) - Comparison of those single material practice pad compared to a multiple surface pratice pad? what is the benefit of having all the surfaces (P4) available and is it worth it? or might as well have something like the Prologix Russ Miller?
Not the best pad in reality, BUT it's LOW COST AND VERSATILITY made the Realfeel GREAT. And Hey, even if there's greater pads today and very expensive ones, you don't really need them to build chops and techniques, right? The Realfeel's enough for versatility and cost effective
@@ronaldgabrieljuan8624 of course! You can build your chops just on a pillow or Any rubber. About realfeel, the kind of rubber Is top quality. And has a great feel. But pads like prologix aré build with modern rubbers that has a top quality too. Too much bouncy for me, but great.
@@germangismondi944 not a big fan of prologix pads, but they are great too. I'm more of a Movement Drum Co. Pad guy😂 Check it out. It's a SUPER GREAT pad for both Drum Corps/Marching Drummer and Drum Set Players. The Prologix Russ Miller is a little more expensive than Movement 4 in 1
@@germangismondi944 prologix is more realistic in terms pf concert/drumset snare. Movement feels like marching snare(not much) but it is suitable for both. The movement also has a less bouncy insert. The main surface is made of silicone rubber that is too firm for a concert snare but maybe it'll still works. But i wouldn't recommend it for drumset players. The blue lightning from prologix may be better for you since it has less rebound than the russ miller one
respect for not littering your reviews with amazon affiliate links. It makes them seem much more impartial. Might be time to revisit the practice pad reviews though, as there no mention of Vic Firth, remo, moongel pads, etc. Or even better, review the smaller 6-10 inch pads seperately from 10-14 inch pads, since most people already have an idea of what size they want
I have the drumeo, which they give you if you buy a lifetime membership. I also have the real feel full size. Real feel makes a two sided smaller version that measures about 5" x 5" , i use that one the most.
Looks like the Tone Ally one is great for Marching Drummers improve their bad techniques. Perfect to pair with a practice pad (especially the Real Feel, Invader Pad or Movement Drum Co. Pad. Or with real marching snare drum)
In my opinion. The Evans Real Feel's the best in this video (especially the vintage one) for Begginers, Intermediate, and Pro's. Versatile and Low Cost. But overall, the Movement Drum Co. Pad is the better than the Realfeel(I'm very sad because that's not included in this video) for intermidiates and pros because of it's maximum versatility and rims. The P4 is versatile and great, too. But not suitable for Drum Corps. The Real Feel is the best (in this video for versatility and low cost). Suitable for Drum Set players and Marching Drummers
I use the the sabian quiet tone mesh practice pad. I was warned against using any type of rubber pad but I bought the evens real feal because it has great reviews. I now know why I was warned. The vibrations that were going through my entire hands was horrible, after only maybe ten minutes my fingers hands and wrists were extremely sore so I ended up back with my quiet tone. Just my personal experience. Great video though 👍
I'm a bit lost. I've been using an Evans Real Feel pad for a long time now. It's great for fingers control and work but it's way too bouncy and to me it doesn't transition well to an actual snare. I've been thinking of adding another pad next to it with zero rebound (or close to it) to complement it when I practice. Which pad would be useful for that?
If you want absolutely zero rebound you can use a pillow instead of a pad. It's really soft so it absorbs all impact. It's great for working on wrist movement.
I prefer the pro logix pads. Evans real feel is too bouncy and doesn’t give me a realistic workout that transfers to the drum kit. Especially since I tune my snare to medium only, even my snare doesn’t rebound as much as that.
Why does the tone ally literally look like a baby's wooden high chair. I can save myself £124 by putting a practice pad on a wooden kitchen chair and sitting behind it with the sticks fitting through 😂😂

I've used my Evans RealFeel for a while and it's pretty good. Highly recommend, especially for the price.
How loud is it compared to other pads?
I have a quietened acoustic kit for my flat. I use a Sabian 10' quiet tone as a snare, work wonders.

Extremely useful and helpful. Thank you for this demo.
I have the drumeo quiet pad- just like a Reflexx pad but half the price!
@Aston I havent tried a reflexx, but I was referring to the black, 'quiet side' of the drumeo pad, which is very similar to that of the Reflexx
In the thumbnail the way you have the Prologix pads stacked it looked like an up turned bucket.
Also the ahead wicked chops

Can we all appreciate the editor's effort where he misspelled the Real Feel pad?
I appreciated his efforts and mistakes. We're humans. We're not perfect. I would say this video is super helpful for drummers.
Right. But in this case, I think I'm more aware in my spelling. So, yeah...
I’m not giving up my vintage realfeel for any of those
Same! But, I wouldn’t mind having a other small one, that’s not so heavy, for travel.
It's the best gum rubber pad I agree

Very nice ...I'm wondering of all these which is the Quietest? I'm thinking quiet enough, to warmup at a quiet jazz gig without bothering people?
Nobody would be bothered. Jazz people would appreciate it. They’d feel more ‘a part of it’.
I’ve got the Remo. I think it is the best because you can change the drum heads and tune it up.
Which one is the quietest?

Just fold a towell over your pad ,stick it together with duct (gaffa) tape and your wrists will be strengthened.
