Also works as a kick percussion mount
Pros
+ Foldable and portable
+ Pad height is adjustable so your beater hits the centre of the pad
+ Fits under the home office desk
+ Looks good
+ Might also be used as a percussion kick mount - if you tie a shaker / tambourine on it (and use a softer beater) or if you insert a separate L-rod and mount the percussion on that (might even work with a cowbell)
Cons
- Does not grip on to my thin carpet enough so it gradually slips away
- The impact that the pad takes from the beater gives it a little shake (it does not squeak though) - other non-foldable, non-adjustable designs where the pad is supported with an extra rod from behind might be more stable but for me the benefits outweigh this, and that little shake is actually handy when you use the pad as a shaker mount
- The pad might leave some red marks on white beaters
Alternatives
Kick mesh pads might achieve the same goal and they could also be used as a trigger for a sampling pad

Overall it's good but one thing was not perfect
I got this pad a couple of weeks ago and I use it for now only at home for practicing.
Overall for its money - it's good! But one thing that disturbed me - is that the angle between the drum beater and the pad surface isn't correct.
Because the beater must be perpendicular to the plane of the ground when it touches the drum pad surface.
And you can't adjust it in pad in any way....
+ the drum pad surface kinda too soft. I thought that it must be a little bit elastic / bouncy, but I'm not sure.
Overall - it's good pad, but keep in mind that you have to adjust somehow the angle of the beater. And for this adjustment be ready that the pedal stroke will be deeper - so, maybe you won't feel the pedal correctly. OR YOU CAN place something to the pad surface on a glue )))

Good pad with minor issues
I bought them for home exercises.
The pad is high portable - it can be folded and take less place in your bag.
Pros:
- Highly adjustable
- Portability
- Overall quality
Cons:
- The pad for kick (red rubber detail) installs with some rotation so the pad doesn't stay in parallel with a pedal
Overall opinion - recommend buying

Poor build quality, unusable
It's cheap but you get what you pay for.
The construction is not sturdy at all, there are a couple of holes at the bottom where you need to screw the structure together. The holes are poorly machined so that the screws don't fit in properly. As a result, the whole structure wobbles and is pretty much unplayable.
I wanted to use this to practice my double pedal chops but ended up hardly using it because it jusnt wasn't nice to play with. Spend your money elsewhere.

It is not great quality. After 2 month of practicing on it, screw star to fall of. Thread in aluminium dameged in several placements.
I practice double bas alot on it and i am heavy hitter (pedal is tama dyna sync direct drive), you get alot of power from it.
But yea overall i repair it (extra nuts) and it is work for me now. It's have nice rebound and it is loud enough to here my practice pad for hands and feet at the same time and it's silend enought that i can practice in my apartment and not bothering anyone else.

Absolutely love it!
Easy to set up, very portable and makes a good enough thud to use in combo with the millennium practice pad and stand. Low volume zildjan ride also works in combo…. Really brilliant gear again form Thomann!

I probably should have sent this back
I used this with a double pedal and it lost all it's screws. Also it didn't take well into the carpet and started moving around when used.
