Anyone interested in these pads (like myself...have been for awhile) can get them here:

from vst for $45 total. Don't mess with the ebay store. get them for $40 and pay $5 for shipping here.


saves you a couple bucks so you can buy the glitter and hello kitty stickers.

I hope no one spent the extra money cause the first post sent them to a more expensive site.

Be good guys and have fun customizing your 1000's. I'm all for it.

On the real its the same price if not more, because on there vst site they jack the shipping way up...I bought some stuff from them before and they charged me $15 for ground shipping for some buttons....The shipping they say on there site is a estimate then they hit you with the real shipping charge....Plus its just easier to get them from there ebay site and you can also use paypal. On there main site you cannot use paypal....but all in all im getting them before you cant get them anymore,just keep that in mind to when thinking about buying them....

That's good to know. The grey pads are stiff and take a while to break in.

If anyone else buys the black pads, let me know if you feel a difference. If they're that much softer and responsive, I'll pay the $44 or whatever they run for.
