The foam I used is a synthetic type used for seat cushions.
Closed cell and quite "mushy". When 2 thicknesses of 1/2" are squeezed in under
the head, the rebound is perfect.

extremely dense and heavy. This might give a "tight" feel/high
response, whereas less-dense-foam would yield visa versa. I'm mostly
interested in replacing the kicker pad on my KP65 (wore through front
before putting Kevlar patch on it). Don't think I want high bounce
on my kicker. Electronicdrums.com said to use the same as Remo, but
I don't know Remo's foam.

take it apart, there is only one 1/2" piece of foam in there but the
two piece "sandwich" fits well. It's tight but I think that makes for
the great feel and rebound when used as a snare.
