MPS-300 Mono Cymbal Pad : Perfect if you don't need much dynamic range

3 years ago

This is a great inexpensive addition to any e-drum kit, as long as you understand it's limitations. It is a single zone pad and does not have a lot of dynamic range. I added this to a Simmons SD600 kit and found that I had to turn the sensitivity way up and hit the pad harder than some of my other ones. It's a bit stiff and doesn't have much movement, so I found it to be a bit louder than the rest of my e-cymbals.

All that said, this cymbal pad works perfectly for my application. I use it to trigger a china cymbal for playing metal, and I can rely on it to stay in place and trigger roughly the same velocity every time. If you're looking to simulate a china or any other cymbal that's cranked down tight, this is the pad to get.
