Nice Little Pad

Bought this to use an external trigger with my Roland SPD-S mounted off to the left like a snare drum. It has decent sensitivity (despite what I read in one or two forums). Good triggering space due to the small rim size. One application I've been using it for is buzz rolls where I trigger the snare "drag" articulation in BFD2 (the trick with this, however, it to make your final stroke of the roll on your snare "hit" pad, so that your buzz roll ends with a crisp hit as opposed to the trailing end of a final "drag" sample).
