Great review, I been on the fence whether to get one of these or just use a pillow. I realy like that you can mount this pad. Thanks

No Prob.. My favorite pad if you REALLY want to feel the burn. If i use this thing for a while I end up hitting like a monster after. gives you the ability to do doubles on anything too.
Pillows, Pillows, Pillows. If you want speed and stamina pillows is the only way to go.
The video is just doubles which any drummer should be able to play on a chair with 2 spoons.
No matter how you cut it, you are still just hitting things with sticks, you can't get any more basic than that.
Don't overthink it.

Thanks for the review Scotty. I've tried it and frankly, I got the same affect from just throwing a towel over my existing Real Feel pad (similar to playing on pillows). And since my Real Feel also has a threaded female on the bottom, it's like having two pads in one.
I don't want to be too cynical but I think drum practice pads are one of the most hyped pieces of drum gear in the industry. If you want a hard feel, play on pretty much any hard or semi-hard surface. If you want a softer feel, play on any softer surface like pillows, the side arm of a couch or the top of your drum stool.
Tom, I have never seen a threaded female. I have seen short 1's, tall 1's, wide 1's, and thin 1's, never have I seen a threaded1.
Must be something I have missed over the years.

Mi pillows are too loud, this has the same absolute zero rebound and is small, portable, and quiet. I don't think this is over hyped at all. Not many pads do what this one does.

I was just in DCP friday and they literally have 15 - 20 different types of practice pads on display that you can play when you walk in the store and I can tell you the only one out of all of them that was quiet and absolute zero rebound was the moongel. Thats why I am buying it, not because of what someone told me or reading an advertisement. To each his own but you should try it before dismissing it is all I am saying. Not everyone wants zero rebound and I get it, I have another pad I use as well that has good rebound but I been wanting zero rebound that is quiet to offset my other pad.

1 could always get a bucket of sand and get 0 rebound which I fail to understand.

Dennis was a big practice on pillows guy also.
Chambers and Emmanuelle Caplette both have mentioned pillows numerous times.

"Man, I never even thought about that. I've seen lots of soft plastic things disintegrate over the years. I would be afraid to leave it in a hot car in the summer."
I don't know Tom, but at 5'7" 190lbs, I would be afraid to leave you in a hot car in the summer.
