I bought it to give a better snare drum experiance with my multipad "drumset" from Yamaha. I haven't used mesh head pad so much yet. I still noticed it isn't as silent as I expected, so I consider adding some damping material to the plastic "vessel" which is the chassis of the pad. The next question is if this combination can resolve fast drum figures, but that depends on the electronic unit, too, of course. I might come back when I tried more.
