#165675 - 06/21/08 07:48 PM tenor pad laminates
XxPuRexX Registered: 01/27/08 Loc: Indigo	When I ordered my tenor pad (this was a good time ago) no laminates came with it but I think they may have been already attached. I have never gotten any laminates before and I was just wondering how someone who doesn't know what the laminates are like could tell the difference between having them and not having them. I am interested in finding out whether or not I have them and if I dont, then I would go buy some. Thanks I searched for this but I couldn't find what they looked like on the drums or how I could tell the difference. Everyone just talks about everything else about the pad and not what I was looking for. Thanks _________________________ DLOFDC: Director of Phoenix Drum and Bugle Corps 08-??

multi-Thomm Registered: 12/31/00 Loc: here	well first we need to know what you bought. heavyHitters, xymox, ect... because not all pads come with laminates. second, it would be obvious if they do have the laminates. it would be a plastic film on top of the gum rubber. if you can feel the rubber. you don't have the laminates with the laminates the pads respond more like a drum. so if thats what you are looking for, go for it. but they will be louder. just keep that in mind.

Gernads Registered: 02/10/07 Loc: Chesterland, Ohio	If your pad does not come with laminates, make that your next purchase. They will make the feel of the pad more realistic to an actual set of drums. _________________________ West Geauga High School 06-10 - Bass, Snare, Quads Capital Regiment Hopeful 2009

onespockadam Registered: 06/01/08 Loc: texas	What gernad said too. Laminates are a must for the heavy hitter pad, without them the rubber-ness of the pad will slow down your scrapes like no other. Yes with the laminates the pad will be louder but it is a good trade. I would rather have a pad that is realistic and loud, than a unrealistic quiet one. _________________________ Vista Ridge High School, TX Freshman 08-09, Quint section leader (though I am the only quint player )...3rd at PASIC High School Standstill with best snares.

Gernads Registered: 02/10/07 Loc: Chesterland, Ohio	Although, I know everyone's real dream is to own an actual set of quads. Nothing better than the real thing. But really, the laminates make a world of a difference. _________________________ West Geauga High School 06-10 - Bass, Snare, Quads Capital Regiment Hopeful 2009

A7xDrummer27 Registered: 06/19/08 Loc: Connecticut	agreed^^^ the only gripe i have is once you takes them off you cant really reuse the glue and you need a new adhesive _________________________ Trumbull Percussion 07 Contrast - Cymbal Line - WGI PSO Finalist 07 Continuum - Bass Line - MAC Outstanding Percussion 08 Science of Music - Bass Line - WGI PSO Silver Medalist 08 Firebird - Snare Line
