This pad is by far the best pad I have ever owned! Very close to the feel of a real drum, including the rim! The underneath has an excellent non slip surface and it really doesn't slip on any surface, including your knee!! It comes with turtle wax polish to preserve it brilliant durability and keeps it very clean and shiny too! Overall, I rate it 15 out of 10, an outstanding pad with outstanding service!Best Practice Pad Ever
If the house was on fire, I'd grab this First !! I'm 56 years old, grew up through Drum Corps and competitive rudimental drumming, and am a touring Jazz musician. I regularly sit for 4 to 8 hours a day on this pad, and would do more if the wife didn't intervene. Drums are all about chops of steel, "ALL" the rudiments, (the 26, plus all the Hybrids), and Time. If you don't have these....take up Clarinet! The rebound, the beauty of having a rim on this pad, and the way it nests perfectly on top of a standard 14" snare is addicting. You'll find yourself practicing HOURS longer than you ever have, with the added benefit of endurance and relaxed technique. Before you buy your 800th cymbal, or 50th tom, do yourself a solid.... GET THIS PAD!Great drum pad
My boyfriend has been drumming for years and he says this is the best drum pad he has ever owned. It was a great present and he has not stopped drumming since I gave it to him. :)A must for any marching snare drummer!
After searching around for many pads I finally decided to give this one a try and i can say you will not be dissapointed at all. Anyone who marches snare drum should really invest in the product. It feels amazing to play on and it sturdy and replicates a snare almost identically. After playing on this I played on my gum rubber pad again and it just felt bad like the gumrubber was foamy and absorbant it didn't feel good compared to this. So if you're debating whether you should get this just buy it, it's well worth it. I march snare and all my friends who also march love the pad and say it's no comparison to gum rubber.Mom
My 15 year old son is thrilled with his new Invader V3 Practice Pad! He plays in the percussion section of his High School Band and the V3 ensures he has quality practice while I have serenity:) He specifically wanted this pad over all others and his fellow band members seem to have the same opinion--it is not sold locally, therefore, I am thankful for on-line availability. Puchase and delivery through Steve Weiss Music was seamless, something I value and guarantees my patronage to this company. Thank you!Miss
This was purchased for my son for Christmas. A friend of his had one and my son fell in love with it. My son was glad to get this drum pad and he absolutely loves it.GREAT PRACTICE PAD!
This is a great practice pad! Quiet but firm and durable. You can feel every stroke and is a great practice tool! Can't stop playing it!OffWorld Percussion Invader V3 Practice Pad
Good.Practice Pad
Strong suction pad (avoid sticking on glass when new!), great feel with minimal noise allows this practice pad to be used alost anywhere.Practice Pad
This is a great product- it has a good bounce and a nice tone. And Steve Weiss delivered it in two days-great service. I would recommend this to any drummer.OffWorld Invader V3 Practice Pad
I have been playing drums for the past 39 years....yep I started young. I have played in Drum Corps, the heavy metal band circuit, bar bands etc... This is by far the best pracice pad I have come across. I wish this had existed when I first started to learn on the old wedge block practice pads of the past. This truly gives you more of a real drum feel with the added bonus of being able to practice rim work. Many may find this pad usefull only in the Marching band snare application, In my opinion nothing could be further from the truth. This is a a fantastic all around pad. Is it a little expensive? Sure, but you can expect to get Ferrari performance at a Ford Escort price.AMAZING!
If you like marching band or drum corps there is no other pad to use. Feels great and sounds great. DEFINATELY BUY ITVery Good Pad
I recently purchased this pad to practice and I noticed a difference right away between other pads. The Invader V3's signature Dark Matter is excellent to practice on. Not only does the dark matter feel more realistic and similar to marching snare heads, It also includes a rim which allow the player to practice good technique. My only complaint about the Invader V3 back side sticks to things and it is hard to pick it up. But at the same time that is also very good because it feels like your playing on a marching snare cause the pad can't move around. This pad is very expensive for a pad but worth the $60-70 you will spend purchasing it. A must have for any high school percussionist interested in doing high school drumline, competitive drumline, or a drum corps.Awesome Pad
This is a great pad. I haven't stopped using it since I bought it. The rim gives so much more of a real drum and the pad rebound is amazing. I recommend this pad to all drummers.Awesome Pad
This pad is by far the best pad i've ever played on. It feels great on the hands and also looks awesome because of the dark matter. The only downside to this pad is that it is not very durable because it is a bit more heavier than most other pads but not a huge deal.Invader Pad
This is a great pad on so many levels. It has great response/rebound, clear sound and is portable. The rim is a great feature, and has been pretty durable so far. The backside surface sticks to many other surfaces, so the pad does not move, does not bounce around, etc. Flams have a welcome clarity. You may not like this pad if you need to play while others are sleeping, but it's a welcome practice tool for those who are listening for technical details in their playing.Love this pad
Well made.. Great feel...Good for rim shots...cleans up well..invader V3
I have a friend that has this pad, so I let him take my Xymox Corps pad home, and I took his... and what I found, was that they both have their pros and cons... the pros for the invader, are of course the rim, it's double sided, the rebound, and the articulation... the cons, are that it's pretty heavy, and it kind of feels like it sinks in when you hit it, compare to the tightness of a snare head... the pro's for the xymox are that it has a nice articulant sound, you can get it with BB's (which I have) to make it sound like a snare, and it has a harder surface than the invader so if you have your snare heads super tight, it feels the same. The cons, are that it doesn't have a rim, it's white, so you have to be careful not to get anything on it, and it too is kind of heavy... but besides all of that, I'd say that they are about equal... it just depends on the player.. if you like big quiet pads, get the invader.. if you like small, loud pads, get the Xymox... $40 + shipping for the snare unit... $30 +shipping for double gum... hope you enjoy the pad that you buy.Awesome
I just have to say this is an amazing pad.amazing
I love the feel of this pad, it feels almost exactly like a snare, I say almost because the rebound can be a bit slow, but other than that, amazing. I brought it to drum camp once, during our break, I broke it out and started chopping away at it, almost the whole drumline crowded around to get a chance to play on it, and they all loved it. The rim is great because right when I got it, I could tell that my stick angle was off from practicing on my other pad because I kept pulling these accidental rim-shots, now I only rim-shot when I want to. In conclusion, I say, buy this pad!Good Bye Pad Hands
The best pad on the market. great feel, articulate at every dynamic level, and it has a rim! It also looks really cool! Get it! You won't regret it. Feels just like a snare drum!BEST PAD EVER
This pad is the best pad on the market. This pad is the closest you will ever get to the feel of a marching drum. When you get this pad, you will trash your other pads. This pad is definately worth the money, every penny of your money. GREAT PAD!!!!!!Great Pad
This is THE best pad ever. The closest pad to a actual marching drum. A MUST HAVE!!!!!!- Customer Reviews
