When I started playing saxophone I didn't like the teeth/head vibrations that many here describe, so I used a patch. Then, when I switched from a HR mpc to metal, I stopped using the patch. After a very short time, the vibrating sensation seemed to go away.
I'm guessing that as the chops build up, we use more muscle from the upper lip and less pressure from bone/teeth structure, and thus no vibrations. But that's only a guess. I'm also guessing that it came more quickly to me because I also play trumpet. And that might be a stretch.
I don't sense any vibes at all on any mpc, and I dislike the mushy feel of a patch and the eventual ridge that nudges my teeth into a fixed position.
I sometimes play a JJ ESP, a metal mpc with no bite plate. Even that feels better without a patch.
I believe this is one of those personal choices where there is no right or wrong way.
