So, will this pad get me through Heavy Songs?

DancinYounginNick

I currently have this pad:
Well, I can't find it on gamestop, but it was a Mad Catz Beat Pad Pro(Got it on sale for $20)

I'm ordering this pad:

Yeah...I don't have DDREX2 yet, only MAX2.

So, will this pad get me to the heavies.....I'm currently a AA Light-er, and can currently D(C on The Whistle Song, Days Go By) on Standard songs(That are under 170 bps, and aren't 8th note whores). So, yeah I have to be the worse 12 year old player ever.....more like worst player period....

So, back on topic: Does it hold true to its ">Ignition 2.5&3.0?"

Maybe I'll get a Cobalt Flux when I have the budget....

id wait for the CF, or if you really want, build your own ddr machine...like me

the ignition style pads are great for a while, but ALL, i mean, ALL soft pads (and even metal i bet) pads WILL wear out

its just a matter of time...if you can wait for a CF, do it
my friend had an ignition for a year (played heavy, a few times a week) and it just messed up

now, if you wanted, you could always get the ignition style pads
course if you have the money, get them both

Yes, it will definately get you through heavy songs. But 10s are iffy...

yes it's a very good pad for the price.. I have two and it took like over a year for the first one to start showing tears. and I play heavy/expert constantly on these pads.. so you should be fine

omg...the BNS...TRY NOT TO GET IT. I got one three weeks ago, played it like 2 hours everyday, and kept it in good condition. It was excellent, but it just crapped out on me today. The buttons won't respond 50% of the time.

edit: I managed to replace it and I'll report on how my new one works. Great customer service from BNS though......

Ehh, I wouldve stuck it out with the pad you had for a little and gotten a CF after you saved up.

But what do I know, I'm taking that route, and I still have my $20 Konami softpad. (Which works decently even on 10 footers)

Eh, I hear Metal Pads vibrate REAL bad, and I cna't play at night with my current pad. With a CF, I'll get yelled at during the day. My pad is coming tommorow.

I'm really happy with my pad, it doesn't move as much as my past pad*well, the front is stuck under my dresser, I have like no room in my room, and I can't paly downstairs as it is hooked up in my room). No vibrations, so I cna play at night, and the game is awseom too.

Shake that thing Miss Kana Kana....

I remeber that song from the radio a year or two ago....
