Good value pad
You get what you pay for. Surprisingly solid construction and the feel is ok. Bought this without being sure how much time I'll put on it so didn't want to invest into name brand product. I had couple of issues with this pad:
1. My pedal has rather wide base to insert the bass drum (Trick Dominator) so in the double pedal configuration I had trouble fitting the slave-side beater to the pad and it was hitting right on the edge. Solved this issue by simply buying another one of the same pad and running the pedal as two singles. With this price this isn't that big of a deal especially considering how much easier it is to setup. Something to think about if you don't have a double pedal that can be ran as two singles and has wide base.
2. The only real quality issue I had was that the rubber surfaces, where your beater hits, were already coming of even before first use on both of the pads i got (ordered at separate times) and other one fell of completely when I moved the pedal after first longer practice. I personally find this acceptable at this price range and the issue is probably solved with glue.
Overall the bang for buck you get out of this pad is good.

Works OK
The rubber pad surface came off as soon as i took it out of the box, i peeled away the old (now useless) adhesive and used some super glue and tape to fix it in place. Who knows how long that will last.
The pad does not come with assembly instructions so, while it is not complicated, you might make a few mistakes along the way.
The front lip (where you attach the pedal) can be adjusted somewhat and the pad has two screws on the back to help fix it in place. In my unit one of these is very hard to turn.
Overall it works fine even with a double pedal and it remains stable on a rug. I have no idea how long the pad will last, or the screws.
This is my first ever pedal practice pad so i have no means of comparison, but i am overall happy with the purchase

OK cheap BD practice pad
OK cheap (compared to others) BD practice pad. Well, it feels like a pad, it is still hard and noisy. Does not resemble the real head feel but it's ok to perform exercises.
This is the second i buy that has exactly the same problem with the first one; two mounting holes are not aligned and i have to widen the one to fit the screw...

Enough to warm up.
It's prety good for playing and practicing, but quality is not so good. After some time rubber piece just fall off. But for it's price it's ok. I usually use it before live perfornance to warm up and it's works nicely fot it!

If the playing surface peels off (and it will), try using impact glue (neoprene/chloroprene based adhesive), not super-glue.
