I have the same practice pad. IMO way too much rebound. Maybe OK if you play a really really really high tuned 10" snare, but for "normal" drums it's way too jumpy. If you wanna build up speed, practice on a pillow or rolled up blanket or something equally soft. It absorbs ALL the energy from the punch, and you're forced to get the stick back up manually. If you do that a bunch of times the next time you're on an actual kit it'll practically play itself!

Thanks for the tip, I'll probably work on this until I actually build up some skill then wrap a towel around it and go from there. I won't be able to actually play drums for a while anyways so any transition of feeling will be inevitable. I do enjoy the crack of a high turned snare though

FSM help me. Moog Minifooger Drive is $99 new as Musician's Friend's Stupid Deal of the Day. That's tough to resist.

Ordered parts for my first diy build.

I sense frustration and potential burns in my semi-near future.

Got to keep us posted on that Haunt. I'm thinking of trying one if I see it being flipped.
