Zildjian Reflexx Conditioning Practice Pad-10 (ZXPPRCP10)

I wanted one for a while but it is very pricey. I finally bought it when I was given too many gift cards and I money to burn. First it is extremely quiet on the rebound side. It can be loud when you accent or play harder, but it is the quietest pad I have ever owned when just tapping at low velocity. I can tap on it while talking in the same room as my wife and (most of the time) it does not bother her. The work surface has some rebound but you really have to use good technique or it will play like a dead surface. This side is louder, comparable to other pads on the normal surface. Not quite as loud as my Evans Real Feel. The first few times that I did focused rudiments (attempting to work out) my hands and forearms were actually sore the next day. A few months after purchase I am still able to get to a speed that causes the muscles to burn, though thankfully no more post work out soreness. I think this is a great tool. A little too high priced, but the quality of the product is outstanding and attractive. It looks cool and you feel cool using it. I do not regret the purchase.

Best practice pad around! Amazing feel and looks so good. I’ve used all the real feels and other names, this one takes the trophy! Look past the price and pull the trigger you will not be disappointed!

I like the size and feel of this It has a super quiet almost zero rebound work side and then the other side still has definitely reduced rebound but is also still super quiet. It feels high quality and I actually really like it a lot. The only thing I don't like about this is the product definitely smells but I'm hoping in a few days that won't exist anymore

I absolutely love this pad. The 2 surfaces are great for building endurance, chops, and technique. I especially love that it is significantly quieter than my realfeel pad. Build is solid and durable so far. ONLY gripe is the price. $80 is high for any practice pad IMO.

I like it for the most part. It looks really good. It’s quiet. It seems well made. It has very little rebound on either side. One side has a little more than the other. It feels like playing on a rack drum instead of a snare. It has sort of a “dead” feel. Which is a problem for me. I needed more of a tight snare feel. It also has a fairly strong chemical smell. It’s strong enough that you can smell it the second you walk into the room it’s in. I assume (hope) the smell will go away over time.

This round 10" 2 sided pad fits inside the hoop of my 10" snare. 2 sides. The thicker side gives a realistic rebound. The thinner side makes you work for it.

After seeing Mike Johnston's 'review' of the original Reflexx pad I was immediately interested, as I was looking for something more versatile than my Evans RealFeel (which don't get me wrong, is a great pad, just limited). I was a little concerned about: 1) Zildian acquiring Reflexx, though they claim the Zildjian version of the pad is identical to the original Reflexx pad 2) Price, holy cow $100+ for some foam and a plastic ring? But honestly, the Zildjian Reflexx is perfect for what I was looking for! The 'conditioning' side kills ~75% of the bounce and really forces finger work. The 'regular' side has some bounce but is still less bouncy than the Evans Real Feel. Now I have 4 levels of bounce between both pads - the Reflexx for hardcore finger conditioning/exercise and the Evans to warmup before switching to my vkit (Roland VAD 506).

I’ve been drumming for 42 years. I’ve used and have owned more drum pads than I can remember. I can honestly say this is possibly the best practice pad I’ve used. Most pads seem to want to mimic concert or marching snare drum feel meaning a tight very responsive rebound. That can be fine for articulation but for real world drum set playing, it doesn’t crossover very well. Being a 2 sided pad, you get a “dead” side to work the little muscle groups and wrist technique and the “rebound” side which is the perfect amount of rebound to mimic a Tom or medium tuned snare. Definitely a better real word feel. You can cheat yourself if you get too much rebound which most pads do. This pad is perfect and my favorite pad I own. Prologix is a really good pad too with different rebound characteristics depending on the color. This pad will get you what you want. Believe me.

Love this pad, way better then playing on a couch!

J'aime jouer dessus mais les deux côtés du pad se decollent.

Buen pad de prácticas, el sonido y rebote es parecido al pad de Prologixx azul

I bought this pad 6 weeks ago and the rubber comes already off. Zildjian has done a very disappointing job there. Can not recommend it!

I hesitated a little as the price is a little on the high side but once received I was more than happy with it. With two sides to the pad this is a great trainer for drummers.
