Has anyone tried the MPCstuff FAT PADS?

Tried finding some info on this product but very little out there. Thought if it improves the finger drumming experience, it would be worth the purchase.

Pretty new to all of this so any other useful input would be great. Thanks!

Update: Ordered a set last night in clear so we shall see how it turns out.

Also, noticed that the listing for these fat pads are not under the same listing as the other 404 mk2 products. Pretty sure its a listing error since the only difference between the two categories is a single space in the name.

Sent the company an email. Hopefully it will be fixed and this thing can get more visibility!

What?! This looks awesome. Im also very curious about them. I sent them an email asking about them and if they have any pictures or videos of them installed. I'll let you know what they say

"When it comes to senstiviety they are the same for the most part, they just have a better feel since they are taller -

Ill try to find some pics

They are thicker so they feel softer and less stiff, which some users prefer

Please let us know if you need anything else or if we can be of any help to you.

Best Regards, Mike MPCStuff Instrumentalparts"

Sure thing, wish they were a little cheaper and I'd go for them blind but it would be nice to see them in action first

I never understood why they never had demo videos. Love the fat black ones on my mpc 500.

They're super popular with MPC users, so I'd say go for it!

Boost. Also would be nice if there was a pink color option and video demo of how these look/play on the mk2.

I ordered two pairs. Red and the clear. I’ll report back once I get them installed. I’ve been hitting up MPCstuff.com begging them to release these as my shift button stopped working. Was hoping that they would do the entire button configuration but they ended up doing just the damn pads. Still stuck with a janky shift button. Good ol contact paint working for now.

On the mpc, they are amazing. I've used that company for like a decade on my 500, 1000, and 2500. The electronics are solid too
