Until we can all go back to Neo-Feudalism and use only what we make ourselves, without having to import massive quantities of foreign-made goods, We'll simply have to accept that VATS of stuff we use are currently made overseas for a fraction of what it would cost to make them here.
Granted, a lot of practice pads made in China are awful, and not worth the monsy.
But I was pleasantly surprised by the Rock Jam pad -- with a platform made of compressed and laminated plastic fiber, and a silicon rubber playing surface that is lively and comfortable, it's actually a fine pad and I would gladly practice on one daily if it were my only option. The 10-inch size is perfect for most applications and easily fits in a backpack.
At a retail price that's half of what the comparable big-name brands go for, it's a heck of a bargain to boot.
Rock Jam pads can be found all over the place, on eBay and elsewhere. They're more than perfect for a beginning drum student, and perfecly acceptable for intermediate and advanced players on a budget as well.
