    This practice pad is excellent for a low volume/rebound option. The one thing i still am not a fan of is the MDF wood base. The prices keep going up yet we have this wood that has questionable durability and changes the tone of the pad itself. I’m hoping to see a change back to birch. The surface however is fantastic, you really can’t go wrong with it. Excellent for endurance. Thanks!

    We appreciate your 5 star review of your 8" Blackout practice pad and thank you kindly for being a valued repeat customer. We are sorry to hear that you are not a fan of our HD MDF sustainable wood base and would like to explain why we selected this product for our bases.

    We selected HD MDF as our base material in 2022 due to experiencing continued supply chain issues and rising costs of Baltic Birch post Covid. It was a difficult decision however we believe HD MDF is a premium American Made sustainable wood product that promotes sustainability towards ongoing changes in our global environment.

    Prologix has not had a price increase since 2022 and we lowered our prices in 2023 with no increase since then. We will continue to strive and produce premium American Made products that are of great value to one's needs by providing innovative practice solutions. We greatly value your repeat business as a loyal customer and thank you for choosing Prologix for your practice. -Team Prologix

    Amazing Drum Pads!

    These blackout pads are quiet and the best feeling I’ve played on the market by far. I love the rims on the pads and the construction is solid. I can’t say enough great things about these pads!
