- In this video I set up a Shure SM57 to a preamp into the camera to get higher quality audio to give you a better idea of what each of these pads sounds like. The audio is otherwise unedited.\

Glad it helped! A very solid overview Snareman! If you get a chance, I'd enjoy seeing an overview of the Carlos Botello Signature Pad from Beetle Percussion. (it's one I'm considering... He does some great videos featuring the Left Hand Path method online) I've still been using my old RealFeel from the 90s, and I'm looking to get a new pad. (Which is why I stumbled on your channel) Cheers!
@@TheManoDestra Sir Carlos Botello's pad is probably the most useful pad i've ever seen. The rubber rims which you can tell if it's a rimshot or a thud, the laminated top, the chop building back side and the valchromat base wood. It's just so perfect. I wish i had one❤
@@ronaldgabrieljuan8624 I actually just bit the bullet and purchased one. And DAMN, was I happy with it. The speed building side is probably the best I've used to actually develop speed and chops on a practice pad. Definintely worth a pick up if you can get it!
@@TheManoDestra that's great👊
Probably the most useful practice pad video in the entire Internet
I was hoping it would be something like that.
@@SnareManwe need a sound comparison in 2023
@@minecraft4lifebro It'd be a lot of the same, minus the Xymox hybrid snare and the RCP Hybrid that I had to send back. I have 2 new pad vids coming.
@@SnareMansorry to bother but do you know a difference in feel between the invader v3 hybrid and the normal invader v3
@@minecraft4lifebro Does the regular V3 not have the snare sound? I'm guessing slightly
having the snare man absolutely stare me down while he plays is terrifying
Lol. I'm super scary
Xymox hybrid snare performance sounds great to this non drummer. The montage at the end is what the neighbour hears in his head 😂
lol
ha i ordered my cynic snare pad last september... (it only took 6 months for my xymox tenor pads) and it still hasn't come in :(
I ordered an ID pad from xymox before the hybrids were even released I’ve waited a year and 8 months and I still haven’t received mine lol
the real battle is when you get a reply from xymoxinfo
@@supersecremento3072 same but with covid I guess it might take even longer.
At the end of the vid where all the pads are displayed my drum line instructor would have been,”CLEAN IT UP!”
Love the SCV dude on the shelf in the background
Thanks. I was waiting for someone to notice him. Here's where I got him. www.needhamdesigns.com/
This was absolutely without a doubt one of the best comparisons I've ever seen.
We're in the same age group, I never got to your lever "Blue Devils" although who knows, I may have seen you if you ever competed up in the North East. Anyway, I played snare in my high school marching band and all the other music departments that go along with it (jazz band, playing in the pit during high school musicals) I still play often and in my kitchen up on a shelf I have a set of Vic Firth corp master chop out, they have the rubber head on the tip of the stick. So while my wife is cooking dinner sometimes I'll pull them down and blast out some rudiments on the kitchen counter! lol Anyway, I do plan on buying a nice quality pad with that "snare" sound. Before this video I thought only Xymox offered that. Well two of the other ones you played I thought sounded great, and looked cool, so I'll be checking those out. Thanks so much. I watched the entire video and by the end I was "almost" following along! lol Pickup out the rim shots where necessary.
Thanks! Glad you like the video. Definitely don't try and get a xymox pad because you will never actually get it, but several others have snare options these days which is Handy and with much better customer service. Check out all the other pad reviews I've done on them
I’ve been waiting for this video for a year (btw, you should have done a xymox with no snare)
Here it is. 🙂🥁
Great video review of these drum pads!! I’ve been really hesitant to buy one and start my lessons cuz I wouldn’t want my housemates to be disturbed by my practicing. Really appreciate you showing the differences with each between a stand and a solid counter. Stand seems slightly quieter. I can go ahead and order a practice kit now! Thank you so much for making this video!!
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
I'm no drummer, just a guy who likes to beat on things and make noises, but I thoroughly enjoyed your video! If I could drum like that, I'd REALLY drive everyone around me mad. Thanks for the content!
Thanks!
That was FANTASTIC. Snare Man is, The Man 🦸♂️ I wish you were my Teacher and Friend lol.
Congratulations on Everything. I most certainly can appreciate the amount of work that went into this video/editing. Not to mention your Drumming ,or... Padding lol. Thank You for all that you do Snare Man.
I wish you well,
Alexander W. Ryker 🥁
Thanks Alexander!
I know others have said the thing but please be so kind as to review the Movement Co pad when you have the chance.
It would be greatly appreciated and apparently highly anticipated too. 🤭
Otherwise, thank you very much for the video(s), excellent channel.
Very informative to say the least. 👌
I inquired to them. Hopefully they'll send me one. 😊
To this day..... from 10/2019 I still haven't received my xymox practice pad....
09/2019 i feel you
They would be the quintessential pad if they just got they're shit together
I just hit my one year anniversary- waiting on XymoX
We've been waiting for the hybrid snare since 6/2019. I'm hoping he'll at least receive it before he leaves for college next summer!
@@kristagable9304 same here. It’s unbelievable!
BTW, love the RUSH bobble heads in the background RIP NP!
Rush Funko Pops to be exact. :-) Stay tuned - next month I have a custom mini Neil Peart set coming to reside on that shelf.
Love the video! Picking out a pad this week and this is sooo helpful. For your Offworld Invader Hybrid, do you have gum rubber, dark matter or VML finish on the playing surface? Thanks!
Thanks! Glad it helped! Both Offworld pads have the VML on them. It seems to give a little more articulate sound.
oh and I see that rcp are making kevlar laminates
I really appreciate that you wanted to better for me. Thanks man.
2:01 “asbestos possible”
Great video keep up the amazing work ma dude. Also can you review the movement drum co pads
Thanks. I need to try and get one of those
@@SnareMan you should check out the RD pads from rudimental drumming, they are like drumslingers but they actually ship them within your lifetime
Awesome review! Thank you for the time invested in this! I really like the pad pete Sapadin uses in his hybrid vids. It was a remo that priced itself from the market I think. But man it has articulation and pop like no other.
Thanks! Do you mean the Rampad?
@@SnareMan thank you!! Couldn’t remember to save my life
@Uncle Monster I'm actually as I type just finishing editing my Rampad review. 😋
@@SnareMan very excite!! Cant wait!
got that beginning-of-the-season sound! lol!
I really would like to check out the RCP ones too.
You should!
This is awesome especially the drum corp edit of him at the end😂😂❣️, me sitting here waiting on my Hybrid drum from Xymox 🥺
my two top favourites are the rcp active snare pad and i think the xymox hybrid snare and did you get your new rim or is that the same one because it sounds great
I love these pad videos. I would love to own an Invader pad one day but I already have like 7 pads 😔. But one day ... one day ...
He never blinks😳
I've heard that. 😊
He’s staring into my soul
Great job !!
Thanks!
I just got the odd world invader V3 and the Hybrid and I like them both.
Which one do you like better?
@@SnareMan I always wanted one with a good snare mechanism so that's what I was looking for. I love the hybrid, BUT with the snare puck in it is not completely flat aside from that I like it. I plan on get the shaker insert in hopes that that may let the pad sit flat.
@@TheJohnnyDIV I know it sticks out the bottom some, but the padding on the bottom should keep it up off the surface you have it on.
This deserves more views.
Thanks! Feel free to share it. 🙂
Hey @snareman, you should get an RD(Rudimental Drummers) pad, their pads are honestly the best & I have xymox, off world, movement drum co., Vic firth. You won’t regret it
I hear they are nice, although also not very fast to get.
Could you review the AHEAD (AHSHP) snare practice pad that’s on amazon?
I need to look into trying to get both ahead and movement pads
Yah that sounds great thanks for the consideration I hope you can review it!
Don’t buy it. It’s not worth it.
Yeah, I bought it like 5 years ago, and I gave it away to my high school percussion ensemble because the head is not as durable as other practice pads.
@@EvOxMaKoTo ok thank you for the feedback
I wanted to pick up a xymox like a year ago when they had a big sale but then I realized i will have literally graduated by the time it showed up...
Yup. Likely so
Hey Ive been watching you since you posted your original invader pad review! Just wondering if you considered taking a look at the drumslinger practice marching pad which also uses a real snare head.
Hi. Yes I have. They look like great pads. Tried to get one, but never heard back from him. I've heard he can take a long time to make and get them.
@@SnareMan I believe the brand drumslinger had gone out of business, but pads like it ate still available.
Ha!!!!! That was awesome!!!!
Thanks!
How do you not ever blink when you play?!
Lol. I guess I'm just focused
He probably learned it from someone fueled by rage and coffee.
For my taste I lean toward the Byosphere because the higher pitch tends to accentuate the articulation in my opinion.
And it's actually even a little bit more so in person. It's quite a loud pad.
@@SnareMan This will be my next pad for video shooting. High pitched and crispy. I think I will also like
the smaller diameter for carrying to work with drummers. Have you had any issues with the wooden
part near the rim? As in hitting the wood instead of the rim? (with the bead of the stick perhaps?)
Also, are you using the jingle puck or the one with the bbs? I think I saw two different kinds on the Offworld site.
@@DennisJohnsonDrummer No, that area is pretty small, so you'd really have to crank the stick far back to get into that area. I have the jungle puck. I'd be curious to hear it with the BBs.
Can u do a review on then movement co marching pad?
I've used that pad and I absolutely love it. The only other pad I've really used was the Evans RealFeel pad, which compared to the Movement pad, the RealFeel is a lot more mushy. All in all, the Movement pad is amazing.
@@jackehlers2072 If I can get one I'd be happy to
@@jackehlers2072 Yeah I have the movement co cf pad. I really like it
I’ve seen that pad a lot and I’ve wondered about it as well.
@Archon oh nice, I'll check it out, thanks!
Thanks for the comparison! What pad would you say feels the most like a concert/drumset snare?
Well, these are all more firm in the direction of a marching snare
My teacher back in college recommended the Remo practice pad for concert snare practice.
Okay. Thank you both for you help!
@@jackehlers2072 no problem! 🥁
I can also recommend the Russian Miller 3 in 1 pad by prologix. Its approved by a set player and it has a normal surface for the normal head, a workout surface, and a brush surface which is very undermined in drumming. Learn brushes.
You never thought of trying to timbre jam practice pad
Never heard of them. Just looked them up. Neat, but doesn't seem like something I'd use.
that was nice!!
Thanks!
Eccezionale ❤
I see the xymox snare drum works again
Yup. Although I'm kind of afraid to crank the rim down too much out of fear of it cracking again.
@@SnareMan im glad your hybrid snare works again i still haven't got mine but ya maybe crank it a little more but not what you did when the rim broke but awesome video like i said the rcp active snare pad and the xymox hybrid snare are the most ones i really like i like the other pads to but the active snare and hybrid snare are my favorites
SnareMan I mean if they can actually make it, they should be able make it durable
@@broken_sticks1880 you would think. I'm just a little gunshy after the first one
@@markponekovic3415 yea, I just never know at what point the rim might crack though. Never know how far is too far
I see you figured it out...
for the most part anyway
Still no xymox pad to this day. :/
hi do you think xymox changed because i read that they moved to a new location and i still want my hybrid snare but im just concerned that they will do the same thing making excuses like they been doing all this time i see some people got lucky that they got theirs including you but i wonder why im not lucky they should of ship it the same day i ordered it few years ago
I'm sure they are the same company just in a different location.
Can someone write the sticking for the paradiddlediddle transition from right hand to left hand please
Paradiddle-diddle paradiddle-diddle RLRLRR, then repeat the same off the left hand
@@SnareMan okay, thank you so much👌🏻👌🏻
@@rogerseal8209 no problem. Even took me a minute to figure out what the heck I was playing
@@SnareMan lol I bet, I love the way it sounds
which one is your favorite????????
I hate to say it but out of the bunch I would probably take the Xymox. Although that's kind of an irrelevant statement since you can't actually get one. After that either the Offworld hybrid or BYOSsphere
@@SnareMan Do you Recommend the RCP Practice pad????????
@@adrianguzman8846 it's also a great pad. check out my review on it
@@SnareMan i have a question does the RCP pad have good rebound????????
@@adrianguzman8846 It does. Yes
I’ve been waiting on my hybrid snare for 2 years now......
not surprising
Which practice pad would you highly recommend by the feel?
I think Rudimental Drummer is my favorite overall pad. Which isn't in this video. The Rudimental Control pad also feels good.
@@SnareMan Ok, thank you so much.
@@SnareMan What do you like about the Offworld invader V3
@@Ghostisatransfem I like whatever this one is called better than the original V3. It has a more lively feel and the snare sound option. th-cam.com/video/gV8ZQLso5JI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=zG-rbgIVvVVCJ3mo
Have you ever tried any of the PROLOGIX pads?
I've looked at them some. They seem like nice affordable pads
I own a offworld outlander, is that good? It feels all right for my purposes but I wish it sounded more like the snare
Sure, it's a great pad. Maybe someday you can get one of the ones with a snare sound.
personally i just went to the hardware store bought some ball bearings like xymox uses got a tiny little container tightly packed them in taped it to the bottom boooom ya got a decent little snare sound
Is there sheet music to what you are playing on these pads?
There was back circa 1992
@@SnareMan is that the name of it?
@@JustnVids no. Part of it was from our cadence and 92 and part of it was from our drum solo in '94. The drum solo one was never written down. Couple of us in the snareline just made it up and they put it in
@@SnareMan oh ok, sweet! That's amazing man 👍🏾 I definitely wish it was written down though lol this would make a perfect warm up 😄
Where can I find the music for the the licks u were playing
The drum solo was never written down. A few of us in the snare line made it up early in the season to replace whatever was there before. Not sure about the cadence .
@@SnareMan ok thx
could we get the sheet music pleeease
I don't think it exists anywhere. I made up the first part and the stuff from our 92 show hasn't been written down since, well, 1992
How do you have the hybrid xymox pad? They haven’t made them yet
There are actually a few others out there that I have seen
There are a few other TH-cam videos on it
they’ve surely released them but it’s xymox if you have one u pretty much got lucky, n e v e r buy xymox just save yourself the pain and anger
I like ya cut g
Huh?
@@SnareMan 😂
@@SnareMan he likes your haircut
@@Amphoobian Ah
That last part was so dirty
Sure was
O no what happened to the realfeel
I actually wondered the same thing. I looked around for it and then realized that someone actually wanted to buy it off me way back when.
@@SnareMan oh huh
Why is he starring like that
