To remedy this situation and help you get the pads you need to complete your work, we offer a pad set guarantee. What is the pad set guarantee? Simple, Fast, and Free.... If you order a pad set from MusicMedic.com you may receive replacements for up to 5 pads that do not fit from the set. It's that simple. We will ship the pads you need without any additional charges.
