how durable is this material and how to stick in the surf of the drum

All of the pads are durable and stick real well except for the bass pad. it is not very durable and does not stick to well. It will work for a bit, but after a several sessions (depending on how you play) it will start to be rather unusable. Otherwise all the other pieces stick really well and are very durable. They also dampen the sound very well, aside from the bass head.

it's a fairly dense rubber, so it's very durablefor the toms, the rims on them will usually hold the pads on unless you have them tilted past around a 50 degree angle, double sided tape will hold them on, never did get the bass drum one to stay on very well

The material is hefty enough to stick without having to using any kind of adhesives. Will not slide around on the head since it sits snug against the rim. Durability is good. They hold up very well.

Pretty durable would last a few months of regular play. I used them for 4 months and now I use them to cover my heads when I'm not playing

I would say it's very very splash resistant. Ive owned many marine stereos but this one works flawlessly, even after the 4th year in the open ocean going to block island. ive gotten it rained on and splashed with seawater, but it still plays flawlessly.

I bought some weather treated ply wood cut to the size of the bottom and over laid some rubber matting. It has 4 or 6 anchor points so I anchored it at every point through the mat and the wood. It's been raining and gusting wind up to about 50 MPH and it hasn't moved or leaked.

I've used it on an outdoor track surface on several occassions and the rubber is pretty durable and has held up.

Hi...my 9 year son uses these when he practices his drums. We has had them maybe 3 months now and they still look brand new in every way. The case that comes with them is awesome and he stores them in there when he isnt using them. I guess anything is possible over time and lots of wear, but they are high quality and with some care on the users part should stay looking good for a long time! Both he and I are very happy with them!

Hi, I got this drum f back in December and love it.I think you could paint it ,definetly on the sides ,if you're talking about the head ,just remeber it is synthetic and may peel

I have only been using it for a couple of months. The way it's constructed it appears that it will hold up well under heavy use. You are hitting into a net not a canvas that will ware. It's easy to set-up and take down. I'm not familiar with other nets but satisfied with this one.Hope I helped - Good Luck.

I used a standard 55 gallon drum. I am on my second year of used and have had several cooks with bottom barrel well stoked. The high temp paint on lower halve is now in need of repainting. Top is all well.Even pushing high temp at times. Bottom holding up as far as now. May need replacement in yr or two. Hope this helps.

I have not submerged it completely...but I have put it through everything short of that: 1) In the shower - mostly soaked the entire unit countless times. 2) By the pool (with my kids) - it got splashed, bumped, fell off of benches onto concrete. 3) Can of soda exploded onto it (overheated in a truck cab) - I was able to wash it off under a weak stream of water, no marks left. 4) BURNING MAN - this thing survived a week in the Black Rock Desert and managed to bump out very high-quality tunes all day long in the playa dust. Overall, I'm a VERY happy customer.

It is a very durable mat. We have had ours for about 1 year and it still looks like new. I used it a couple times a week and I am a rather large person.

It's a nylon (parachute) type material so if you are just standing in a pool or whatever, it wouldn't be bad if it got a little wet. No pads, so it would dry quick, but I don't think it's necessarily made for it, so too much chlorine could be a problem if prolonged use in a pool.

I don't know if the Dynamat adhesive is meant to hold up in the marine environment. I know Cascase brand noise damping material are suitable for marine use.

It has held up well. I've had mine about 6 months now. Although the liner is not water proof so if there are many accidents the foam is pretty much ruined.

It's durable enough to be thrown. It's still In one piece on my balcony from last Christmas. It's like styrofoam but it's tough and rubber like. I gave it to my younger brother as a present and my baby brother wacks everything with it. It's surprisingly durable.

I recently bought it , I only used twice in salt water. One of the two sections is sealed ,the other one is open and allows the water to get in , but you can easily rinse it after diving ..The material and the painting looks very strong and durable. My first impression is very good.

Hey Tom, I have been using this for 8 months, it almost always stays on the guitar unless I'm in travel, I have not noticed any damage at all. I imagine if the foam wasn't in an ideal situation it could cause some damage, like moisture, heat, sunlight, etc. I keep mine indoors and climate controlled. of course the foam is similar to that of the capo I use, so I'm not sure where the damage would come from. Maybe someone else with longer usage can chime in and answer this better. Cheers

Very well. The foam material will have wear and tear but it doesn't affect performance. There's nothing to pop. I've had pine needles go through, no problem. I have it on the outside of my pack, scraping on rocks and bushes and all that's happened was some scratching and a little material might look frayed/ grated (like cheese) but it's only really cosmetic. The material doesn't tear, but basically wears down like with sandpaper.
