  • Update - my drum's rim broke for the second time and I have not been able to get Xymox to send me a new one despite 10 + emails over 4 months. Completely worthless company that I'd never buy anything from again. Do not give them your money.
    The Xymox Hybrid Snare Drum is the latest innovation from Xymox. It is a full volume 13" snare drum that can be converted into a much quieter more muted practice mode perhaps more suitable for indoor home use.

    Bought my Xymox tenor pad back in 2015. Xymox was exactly the same back then. They've been this way for years, and anyone who actually believes that they're willingly going to change without major consequences motivating them (like class-action lawsuit) is living under a rock. "Different company" my gonads.

So I’ve sent an email every day for 11 days now, and no response. I just need my money back as soon as I can. Any way I can get their attention?

    My own xymox story. I bought their Ralph Hardimon pad way way back in 2006/07. It was a nice product that honestly lasted me until 2022 when the laminate began to deteriorate.
    I purchased a reserve ultra and actually got it in a reasonable time. It’s a great pad but even being indoors and not abused the screws that held there snare model in place tore right though the wood. I had beads slipping out and trying to prevent my son from eating any.
    I really liked the pad but the construction is shit. Not to mention I went to point this out to xymox and got nothing back from them. Got one of their quad pads too. Again. It actually came. No issues with it but apparently their tenor pads no longer come with cut out grooves for stand mount.

A few years ago, Xymox was known to take at least 4-12 months to send out a pad. THAT’S why people make so many videos and comments about their horrendous wait times; not because they had to wait through a quarter of a winter😂 And despite how terrible they are at running their business, Xymox has absolutely nothing to do with the time of day that your package arrives, so idk why you threw that part in there. It’s not like they bribed a fedex or usps employee to work overnight to deliver your package lmao.

    (UPDATE: Never got an email about any ship date or anything. Yet another broken promise and still waiting after an entire year,
    Job well done. )
    I had grown so frustrated with the fact that I never had a drum in my hand for almost a year, so much that I went ahead and bought a Yamaha SFZ snare which also took so long to come in, I ordered it in March and was notified that it was on back order and I was lied to at least 5 times by musicians friend and Yamaha themselves about when I was getting it, they kept changing their dates a bunch and I was shocked as to why this was happening to me with yet another music company especially with a huge one. They took so damn long to the point that I can’t even afford it anymore as I’m a college student getting ready to get my own place next month, so I cancelled the snare and asked for a refund. Keep in mind it never came in so I waited since March for practically nothing at all. It really seems like life doesn’t want me having my very own marching snare for whatever reason which is strange yet just ironic.

      People should ask for a refund after the first initial month have past. I don't care how hard it is to produce - it's not like they're building a car or a violin to a billion dollars.
      If refund isn't an option I would even dare to even think about their products... scammers.

      & I’ve had an offworld invader since 2012. I actually have a review on my channel that has quite an amount of views. I thought it was amazing at first but now I absolutely hate it and think it’s a joke compared to laminate surface pads with snare simulation.

    Seems as though nothing has changed with xyomox. 11 years ago I ordered just a basic pad from them and to be honest I think that was the only pad they sold aside from the tenor pad. But it took almost 6 months for it to arrive. I never received emails or phone calls back about my order or why it was taking so long. When it arrived it look poorly put together. The laminate surface looked like it was cut out with a pair of 100 year old scissors, it wasn’t centered on the rubber and the rubber wasn’t centered on the wood. I tried calling and emailing to express how disappointed I was with the craftsmanship and the fact that it took so long and never got any replies. I took to TH-cam and wrote negative comments on their videos. I then got a VERY angry phone call from the owner one Saturday afternoon asking why I was bashing his company. He apologized over an email a few days later offering to send me out a free pad. Lol it seems like the company is still ran by only a few people and no vision of growing.

      Also whatever you do don't tighten this thing like a normal snare it definitely cannot handle even close to the tension. I put moderate tension on mine and the bottom rim snapped. Its plastic so I had a feeling it was going to happen. That said you can get a moderately good tone from going at a mid tension. Other than that the product is cool. I'm hoping mine was just defective.

      Good luck with that you’ll need it. I got so fed up waiting for mine I ordered back in August 2019 that I bought a Yamaha SFZ in March and I said fuck it it’s worth the money I’m not waiting any longer it’s almost been a year. Just to have them play games with me too believe it or not. They told me once I ordered it that it was on back order and kept lying to me about promised ship dates at least 5 times. From March to about 3 weeks ago I never got it still. I can’t afford it anymore sadly so I had them cancel it. So not only they wasted a few months of my time like xymox did for almost a year, but I ended up empty handed once again. No snare, hopes and dreams crushed over and over. At this point it seems to good to be true to own my very own marching snare whether that be from Yamaha xymox or the whatever the hell. I’m honestly really upset over all of my experience through this because it’s been a dream on mine to own one for about 9 years now. That dream has to keep waiting sadly. RIP.
      Though I just got notified from xymox that my hybrid is finally getting made right now and they’re gonna update me on an exact shipping day very soon so let’s hope I actually get a damn drum in my hands finally.
