Dual Zone pads
Guinness:
So, when I had my DM5 (for two weeks), I didn't have a ride. I used the two cymbals as crashes, and since the snare was dual zone, I used it as a snare and ride.
it took a bit to get used to, but it worked. Then I noticed I beat thru the rubber rim. Is that common? Or was it just because I was using the rim as a ride and it took alot of repeative hits and wore out quickly?

Very common. I wore mine out quickly too. The rubber is way too soft. Your best bet is to use a car door "U" shape trim like the ones found here:

Black or Chrome would look good. Just a thought.

I would assume it wouldn't as long as you didn't take it off for some reason. And if you did a little goo gone works great!
Admittedly, this is not my idea and I have not used it myself. This idea is the brain child of Racer52 over at edrumforum.com.
