This improved V-Pad for the snare drum features an expanded 10-inch rim for more comfortable and quiet rim-shots, as well as separate head and rim-triggering for authentic performance.

I Started off with a cheap set that was pretty good by alesis. I slowly upgraded to some used roland PD-6 pads which were alot better. Then I got a Pintech Mesh Head Snare Which was good but then I got the PDX-8 for my snare and some used PD-80 pads for my Toms. There really is no comparison. The Roland stuff is so much better in my opinion. It feels better it seems more responsive. I have become a firm believer in the Roland gear and have replaced everything on my set a couple pieces at a time. This PDX-8 is very light but quite durable. The Light weight is good for Rack Systems. The Rim Shots are much more natural than what I experienced on my Pintech Snare that I was using. The Pintech was good but the Roland is just a little better and more responsive in my opinion.
I own 3 of these pads. Currently I have them set up as toms 1-3 in my td-8 kit. These pads have as good a feel as any of the other mesh head roland pads I own. When used as a snare, I found positional sensing was not as accurate, as with my pd-85 or pd-125. As a bonus I have been able to reliably trigger rim sounds on my td-8 with these pads,by stiking the rim at the 7 or 5 o'clock position, which is something I was unable to do with PD-85's. Overall I would recommend this as an upgrade from any gum rubber pad, and I love them as tom replacements.
When I first saw the PDX-8, I thought it was a cool looking drum. When I first picked it up, I was a little leary because it felt really light, and I wasn't too sure of the plastic base. I should have known better, it's a Roland. I've had a pair of them for a month now, and I have used them as snares and toms. They seem to be holding up, and I have come to appreciate the fact that they are lighter. I somehow think it won't cause so much stress on my MDS-6SL. I couldn't be happier with my purchase of the PDX-8.
