Ken, The Remo foam qualifies; you can use it in your mesh pad. In general, the walls of open-cell foam, or the surfaces of its "bubbles," are soft, a little like the texture of a natural sponge. Open-cell foam is useless for making electronic drums. Closed-cell foam is strong enough to take a beating from, say, drum sticks or the continuous pressure of someone reclining on it without fully or permanently losing shape, depending on its density. The interior cells are hard, like minature basketballs or something, bonded into a tight, tough resilient unit. That's what you want for your drum. Ed
