What is better for practice, rubber pads or roland mesh pads? I am going to buy e-pads because my family canÃ,´t sleep any more, so what pad feels like acustic drum head? I have DTXpress II module!

What pad is better for practice, rubber pad or mesh ped? Which feels more realistic, like acustic drum head?

Personally, the mesh drumheads feel the closest to a real acoustic drum. For rudimental practice, I enjoy using a rubber pad, like the RealFeel pads with dual surfaces.

I think each style and make of pad has it's benefits. You have to do what you are doing now ... weigh the pros and cons, check your pocket book, and make an investment.

Go with what feels good to you; what closely mimics an acoustic drum. We are all different and have our own likes and dislikes. Take a test drive and make a decision based on what you like!
