Drumslinger pads had supply issues because the ONE GUY who was making them lost a relative, and then got diagnosed with a life-threatening illness. There was no scam involved. As of 2024, he is making pads again, has filled nearly all the backorders and is now delivering new pads with a roughly 6-8 week turnaround. Remember, it’s ONE GUY making these pads one at a time. So give him some grace and a little respect for what he had to climb out of to get back to it.

Is it just me or does the dude in the middle have is drumm super low?

Xymox has taken a lot of money from customers. Waiting four years for my pad

what pad is it

ram pad is goated

That’s today’s snares compared to the 80’s big difference in sound. I think today snares are too tight almost sounding like a gun shot but, to each is own.😢😂

my first pad was the hq real feel oh my God is it still one of the best ive ever had. started drumming in 2004 and the only other pads that have come close is the offworld invader v3 and the original vic firth slimpad. im hoping the new slim pad is back to the og but hail to the king hq real feel

I've had an Invader v3 for awhile. I actually think it is the best pad I've ever owned and really wish they existed when I was in high school. However, the older I get the more I stray away from high tension. I find myself placing rags on the pad to lower the volume and tension quite often. I prefer that feel much more and am probably going to look into the quieter rubbery pads such as the Vater or Vic Firth Stock Pad.

Vater OP

I just broke a falams II head 😭

I absolutely love my Prologix vortex tenor pad, it was great for preparing for past auditions best pad I've ever owned. It's also great for writing to make sure everything feels right. I want to try the tenor Ram Pad but if I'm gonna shell out that kind of cash I might as well have just played on my drums.

happy 5 year anniversary of you getting scammed

Where is the off world label on the playing surface?

Hanflag green labels for a lot of companies. I own a Hanflag pad but got a RCP laminate, it has a ton of rebound but feels more realistic with a laminate. I would only recommend a Hanflag(Hun) for private use, as it is loud & resembles a real snare too much to practice & warm up

I know I'm three years late to the party, but I just had to comment. I got my bachelor's degree in music education as a percussionist, and I went on to be a drum tech at a high school. I've always done snare tuning by feel because I could never articulate in words what I liked, nor could I find an informative (enough) video online. This video is, without a doubt, the best tutorial for tuning a marching snare. Good job!

Fire!

My friend got an rcp active snare pad and it feels really nice

How do you get that nasty ring out of it towards the edge of the head? I always struggle with that. I think it comes from the bottom head not being in tune with itself, but no matter how hard I try, it still does it.

I think i might have a drumslinger pad When i bought my bellset i got a pair of mallets, sticks, and a drum pad as well and it has an actual head and looks very similar to the picture

RCP pads are actually really good in my opinion, i would give them s or high a tier

Update on Xymox, they got their shit together this year and I got mine in around 2 months. And my friend got his tenor pad in around 3 months. They still don't ship within the listed time but it is much better than they have been.

Qual pele inferior o senhor recomenda ?

I think my siblings are gonna slit my throat with the doorknob one. Honey wtf r u doing. Whats all that squeaking? Nothing mum, im just practicing my traditional grip. Sure doesnt sound like traditional grip to me

What step did you not tell us to make it sound so crisp

Drumeo P4?

Where did you get the thumbnail pic? It looks awesome

I've actually never had issues with xymox. I know everyone does. Ive bought 2 quad pads, a tenor kick, a hybrid snare, and a table pad from them. My original 2 quad pads took about 8 months, but i knew that going into it. Everything else i received within 1 month of purchase

IMO the prologix green should be ranked above evans rf. It feels way better than the evans rf. At first I thought that green logix was an ordinary feeling pad because that's what they say in their website. But man when I played on it during the drumline workshop event here in the Philippines. I was surprised. It feels fantastic, and quiet❤

The black innovative pad is the same exact pad as the offworld outlander, innovative percussion pays offworld for rights to the pad so they can slap their logo on in, if you have both side by side you can see the have the same serial number

My dad managed to find the yellow real feel at like a savers for $2 and it feels great

Great job!

I ordered a xymox pad my freshman year of highschool… I’m a sophomore in college and still haven’t received it 🥲

Cadets snares tuned. czcams.com/users/shorts7hf02dloFk8?feature=share

I cut the black rubber side off my vic firth double sided pad.wasnt easy but it helped the feel and tone of it alot

Does the type of throw and quality of the snare guts affect the sound. Also is there a preference for type of bottom head

Nice control bro

Yup never got my drumslinger

I have the same issue where my left shoulder droops down lmao. Should be fixed with a carrier tho

Ohhh so that’s why our drum tech was so pissed when my friend ran the bottom head of his snare into my bass drum

xymox is trash quality. Offworld invader is the best pad

why the suede max? jw

reflexx?

Can you make it sound good with the stock bottom head? I’ve seen people use the stock bottom head before and it sounds awesome

😢😢😢😢😢

Amazing video! This is definitely the best snare drum tutorial on youtube Also what top head do you prefer?

it sucks that xymox pads feel great. However, there's no point in buying something that is good quality if you'll never get it.

good vid solid beats

Drumslinger. Bill Olsen provides great customer service and stands behind his products. I own two- the 13 inch Corps Pad and the 12 inch Marcher Pad. Both were delivered in only three weeks. The pads are a work of art.

I own 2-Rampads symphonic & marching pads love them 😁

Very true about xymox, it happened the same thing with my purchase, they never shipped my order
