The first LC pad I used left me with a bad first impression. The velcro literally started to come off of the pad after the 2nd use. My original model
Sonus pads however, are still holding up just fine and I've had them since this summer. I'd say I've used them 8-10 times. My Sonus orange pad started to wear, but it was the one being used most often.
I haven't tried my new Sonus SFX pad yet.
