The grey side is the perfect amount of minimal rebound, along with the quietest pad I've ever played on. I own 14 different pads and this is the one I choose to bring with me to college every day.

For some reason I hit only one star in my original review of the Red Storm practice pad. That was completely incorrect! The Red Storm is, by far, the best pad I own. I literally take it with me everywhere so I'm never without the ability to work my hands. Highly recommended!!

It feels so great, the rebound is very close to an actual snare

The Blackout practice pad is great. I've often thought that most practice pads have too much rebound. I was concerned that this one would not have enough rebound. While this one is much less responsive than a tightly tuned snare, it's great if you are used to a looser snare or if you are just wanting to get a good workout for your wrists and fingers. You have to work for the rebounds more with this pad, but there is some. It's not like playing on a pillow. I play mesh head electronic drums. I find that the response is actually pretty close to a mesh head that is not super tight.

This is a really nice product!
Great for building wrist strength and extremely quiet. The playing surface has a unique response and feel to it, demanding yet very comfortable to play on.
Shipment was real quick too!

I had always been a "fake it" brush player. However in the last year or so I have decided to change that. I like having a pad that's portable that I can use in front of the tv or on the deck, as well as putting on a snare or pad.

the train tracks are a bonus, and I really like them to help with the choreography of the brushes when playing laterally. (and really help when following anthony's book).

Two things I'd change.

I'd find it helpful to have a figure 8 also printed on it (even if light print)

Also, the notch on the pad at the 6o'clock position is a bit large for my taste, and occasionally my brush wires get stuck in the hole. If you have to have one, i guess thats the best place, but either a piece of tape attached to the bottom to be used as a puller or make the hole smaller would help

Had it for a bit now and use it all the time! Can take a serious beating, the inserts fit in snug and the brush pad is just amazing! Also love the rim

Both sides are a perfect balance for switching it up a little. Easy to tell the build quality is high. Highly recommended.

Perfect companion to Anthony’s book
Having a blast practicing with this pad
Highly recommended

It is the best practice pad my wife has never heard!

This pad is just what I wanted in a practice pad. It is worth the money, the thing I’ve noticed is that the grey mat frays easily

Perfect product as always from prologix!!
This is my favorite pad for practice to build endurance and speed! I had the previous version but this new one is better in quality! Thank you prologix

This is a very quiet pad with a pleasantly soft rebound, ideal for rope tension or mylar feel drumming. I’m very pleased!

Fantastic brush pad!

The pad is amazing. I use it all the time and it has not let me down.
