Title: XM drum pads Compatibility
Post by: OliveDrab on May 09, 2017, 01:58:42 PM
Hi guys,
still researching the best options.
anyone have ever tried XM drum pads? they are a taiwanese company

inside they look like this

and I've spotted this, real cheap

never tries one , but looking at the pics , it's a Roland type pad ... should work ok with the drumit5 ...

If you have too much hotspot , you could easily relocate the sensor on the side of the drum , like 2box pads...

Less lovely than the yammy ones , but should be a nice kit ...:)

These look almost identical to GoEDrum who have a kit like this with "shells" and a cheaper line which are quite thin 10" pads. I've read about comparisons between GoeDrum and XM before too - they may even be the same company. But I bought the pads + rack and have had no real issues. They have side triggers and work fine with my 2Box module as do their rubber cymbal pads.
