500 live

One of my pads (the upper right one) is a little softer and does a slight clicking sound when released. Any other with pads that are uneven like this? Not a problem really, the pad works great but worried it might break sooner than the others.

nice .thanks!

bwahaha.. that's good to hear.

I've had my 500 for a few weeks now and have been using it on and off almost daily. But man I've felt like I've been hitting pretty hard, punishing the wee thing.

I actually had it on the train with me the other day and I could see some of the other passengers looking over, obviously wondering what teh noise was. I was rocking a beat so I didn't care.

It still feels a bit tight though but I'm just gonna keep on with the punishment

I just took mines on a flight this past a couple days ago. I did get stares on the plane and at the security checkpoint. A crowd actually gathered around. I was asked to turn it on and off and "play" it. I was real careful with not tappin' on the pads when I first got it. Now I abuse it like the 2kxl with no problems.
