Carbone Lorraine RC5+ - Pictures & Review

[Kevin 1G Drummer]

I understand your theory on the pads scrubbing off the old pad transfer, but where do you think that old pad material goes? The answer is into the new pad, most likely causing the shudder you're experiencing. Like you said, your new pads are porous (most pads are, yours are just more porous than most) and all you're really accomplishing is collecting the old pad material into your new pad. It doesn't just magically disappear during the scrubbing process.
