Zildjian Reflexx 10" Conditioning Pad 4-stars Reviews

Well-made, expensive and far from silent

Pros:

- very well made

- two surfaces feel distinct; there is noticeably less rebound on the WORKK side

- depending on what you're looking for, the large size is nice (although less portable)

CONS:

- personally, I was hoping for a very quiet pad, but the FLEXX side is still a bit noisy and surprisingly, the WORKK side has an even bigger stick sound, despite having less rebound

- with medium to hard hits, it's easy for the stick to push down the entire foam surface and reach the wood part of the pad, as one review also stated earlier

- high price which doesn't feel entirely justified

To be clear, the sound isn't exactly loud (nowhere near as bad as the Remo pads with an actual drumhead), but still isn't quiet enough that you could consider practicing with it in any apartment building. Especially harder hits that reach the wood plate of the pad make a sound that will likely reach your neighbours. For me, this is quite a major issue, but if you are not worried about the volume, the pad is a good choice.

Great pad, but no bag included

Fantastic pad, you can practice all techniques (except for buzz rolls) at the lowest volume possible. Only remark is that in the Zildjian version of the pad the bag is not included, therefore the description should be updated.
