Sorry to say, but the stands are custom made for demonstration units at shows.  We are planning on making a stand that will be height adjustable via pneumatic device, but it will still be some time before it is in production.

is this better then the v3 invader pad?

[Orrski42]

@drummerdline A great deal depends on what you are looking for in a practice pad. I want to give credit where credit is due. Both pads have a great feel, rebound and a rim for your shots. The RamPad was designed as an educational tool and this is where it excels. The sound of the RamPad is clearly superior to the Invader pad becuase it uses a real Mylar head. This gives the RamPad a great articulated sound....and isn't that a very important part of practicing?

[spstarks]

what are those buzz things he is playing at 7:46

[Orrski42]

@spstarks I will have to ask Pete what he was playing, but my best guess is triple-stoke-rolls.

[spstarks]

6:00 what is a drum trigger

[Orrski42]

@spstarks A drum trigger is an electronic device that provides an "on-off" switch to a drum sequencer. The sequencer can be programed (or a pre-selected midi program/sound) to play a varitey of different sounds,( i.e. snare drum, triangle, tympani, moose call, etc.). The end result is that the RamPad will work just like an electronic drum; you can have it play any sound that a sound module/sequencer will produce. Yes, this could be a very inexpensive tympani...say...$80.

@drummerdline its your own opinion theyre kind of the same..i mean no pad hands and rim. but go with the invader since its bigger.  you can get the invader at a cheaper price at lonestarpercussion(dot)com

@poopmcdoopdoop the rims aren't very sharp or hard enough to do too much damage but they sound amazing

[bdbcorp]

[Ongakutekini]

nice delucias.

[poopmcdoopdoop]

it seems like rimshots on those pads would destroy your sticks :o

[PaulP543]

I got this pad in a raffle and won! This pad is really awesome, especially the tuning. The only question I need to ask this RamPad company is where to get the stands, like what Pete is using.
