I believe the Roo pads are made of kangaroo leather. Nothing wrong with them, they should be decent leather pads. But as we've said above, if you have never done this before, this will be a learning attempt.
I don't personally feel comfortable doing a whole clarinet myself. I had learned one pad at a time out of necessity and just stick to that. The Valentino recommendation is that they are the MOST forgiving (very mushy synthetic material......... the reason I DON'T like them for sidekeys). The "green back" pads are billed as self-stick. The self stick concept doesn't work. So you need to either use shellac or hot glue (in this case, whichever you are more comfortable with). Also, hot glue melts using a common hair dryer which makes the process even faster and more convenient (I've witnessed experienced repairmen doing whole horn this way so I know they do this............and still charge $300 to $400 for it - oy!).
Personally I don't think starting off with a full repad as a beginner is a good idea. Particularly if you are doing it out of playing necessity. You'll wind up with some pads pushing in too deep into the cup, some out too far some hopelessly angled, but that's ok, that's called LEARNING. Just don't expect perfection right out of the box.
