11-22-08: I had a thought this afternoon as I poked through the huge selection of included and dlc content in the newest installment of Rock Band (2). Clearly this game is sticking around and although we sold out of pads this past August and sales dropped significantly with the, both, the economy and the release of Rock Band brand foam pads, I think now may be a great time to start production again.

Let your voice be heard, if enough people bang down my inbox door, I will most definitely make the pads again. Email me at: sales@rocpadz.com and ill begin taking preorders for the holiday season if i have enough. !!!!!!!

3-12-08: Ever since I began selling ROCPADZ™ I've gotten nothing but great feedback from anyone thats purchased a set. I think maybe 2 or 3 people have had sensitivity issues in the past 175 sets sold!

Still though I want everyone to be happy, so I was naturally troubled by the few that had issues. It led me to dig into what could be happening and why. I couldn't understand why my experimentation yielded flawless results from the lightest of hits to really slamming on the kit. All scenarios did not affect sensitivity for me.

After poking around on the Rock Band forums a few days, I came across similar issues involving 2 different Rock Band drum kit models. The "EL" (first generation) and the "QM" (second generation). The short of it is if you have an "EL" kit, you're likely to have unsatisfactory results with most sound dampening you apply. The "QM" are far less affected by any sound dampening treatment installed on them. I recommend that anyone with an "EL" should RMA it in hopes of getting a "QM" Ive had no trouble with mine since January 08.
