Re: Alternative pads on B&H 1010

I have a new Eaton Elite with neoprene pads. I tested it with my magnahelic leak tester and the seal is as good as it gets.
I experimented with pads recently on my old Buffet C. First of all I repadded it in skin but felt the instrument still lacked something. I then tried leather but that seemed worse. Finally reasoning that there must be something in these new fangled goretex pads beloved of Buffet etc I tried those. These brought the instrument back to life producing a brighter focussed sound that makes me want to actually use this instrument in future. I'm considering trying them on an old pair of Eatons which I have.
