MPS-300 Mono Cymbal Pad : Experience of MPS-300 use

I bought this pad mainly for fun - just wanted to add one more "cymbal" to my old Roland e-kit. Befor that, I used a spare rubber pad from the same kit as an extra cymbal.

Pros: the pad and the stand are really nicely made from the mechanical point of view. They are sturdy and robust.

Cons: well, may be not the cons, but "features".

1. The cymbal does not swing at all (compared to Roland cympals from my set). So, there is no difference between hitting this pad and a usual pad that emulates a tom drum on my kit. But still, I could spend more money and buy a swinging model. Nobody to blame here. Maybe, later I will customize it to make it swing.

2. It is loud like hell. Still have no solution for this issue.
