MPS-850 08" Mesh Head Kick Pad : great mesh head kick pad

I play electronic drums and have mesh heads for snare and toms. Until trying this mesh head kick pad I always played using normal 'rubber' kick pads. I wanted to try a mesh head kick pad and this pad is the best way to go since it's price is very attractive. I'm really not sure that a Roland mesh head kick pad will give you anything extra. This kick pad is really well built and works perfectly out of the box. Response is great, triggering is without any faults. Bounce from it is very nice, you kind of get the feel of a real kick drum. There is a big difference when compared to the 'rubber' kick pads. I recommend using a beater with a soft head since felt or plastic\rubber can damage the mesh. I use two of these kick pads each with a single pedal. I absolutely recommend this pad if you want to get the taste of a mesh head kick pad for an excellent price.
