I got this pad back in September and, I absolutely love how they updated it. I use it all the time on my stand and it is also a great pad for on the go light and portable would highly recommend!

I would like to start to mention that this slim pad versus the slim pad without rim are contrasting, so they will obviously not look nor feel the same. When I got my package, I would like to add that my pad arrived dirty, as if it was opened previously to shipping and they placed it in a box. As for the overall pad, it measures to be around 13", bigger than the 12" original slim pad. As for feel, it feels slightly gummier, or rather rubbery, compared to the other slim pad (which feels accurate to a marching snare drum) which some players may not prefer. The feel of it feels as if you are playing on a better variant of a RealFeel pad, if that makes sense. The rims seem to hold up for now, and seem to be of good quality. Laminate is included so you do not have to purchase a separate laminate as the older slim pad, where you had to pay $20 for it. In my opinion, the pad feels 100x better with the laminate on, but for best of both worlds, I highly recommend cutting it in half.
