Choosing a pad for SM...

plasmix · 12-1-2003, 09:51 PM

For Christmas this year, I have decided to get a pad and adapter to play StepMania on my PC. I need some help deciding the best pads that are affordable ($40>) and effective. Suggestions are appreciated.

I've found several websites.

yeah, red octane is good. the metal one is expensive though. umm...playasia.com has some FFR type stuff. try going there. most of its in japenese though.

I got a metal pad from E-bay for 25.00$

The shipping was 45.00$ though -_- Then another 8.25% tax. >:O

Thanks for your help, everyone.

Best bassoon player in class + Christmas = better gift = Metal DDR Pad (around $200)

I'll hope.

altairian · 12-6-2003, 12:27 PM

...how many bassoon players are there in your class?

plasmix · 12-6-2003, 06:14 PM

Umm...

But my dad was happy. That's all that counts.

In my high school with like 1800 students there was only 3 between 2 bands....and that was one more than usual...

Yea, im in 8th grade and our band sucks, except for me of course. I have been playing Trumpet for a long time, and same with percussion(the user name). I desperatly want to get into a better band. Wow, this topic changed quickly, lol
