Get a pad man for sure. You can take them anywhere, & your family & friends will appreciate it more than a boomy bass drum. Drums are quite annoying to folks that are not into them.

Yep.
Pad is the way to go.
I took my bass home last year to practice, let's just say the neighbors didn't really appreciate me practicing at 8 am on a Saturday morning. oops.

You can get any kind of pad at steveweiss. Sam Ash might have it.. Go to the brand or pad's site and find online dealers.

I saw it for cheap on samash or steveweiss, one of those two, Its Not cheap, in the term, but its a lot better than shipping out 500 bucks for a set of multis when you can just get a pad for 100-120

Yeah I definalty agree with that. Also what quad mallets should I get when practicing or just playing

Shooottt, I have no clue how mallets would work on a quadropad, Ive only seen people really use sticks on them

But If your going to march, Suggesting some hard plastic mallets? Those are all you really need, Felt, cotton, other effects mallets arnt really needed, get your metal shaft, hard plastic mallets first

Mt1a or mt1a-s would do the trick, if not, practice with sticks, and try and convert it to mallets

That answered my the pad question, but what about the real thing?
