## Description

Drummers need to be able to practice, but many times it needs to happen away from the kit, either at low volume or while on the go. Vic Firth's Double-Sided Practice Pads set the standard for drumming practice with a portable, two-surface pad that helps keep your chops sharp, whether you’re perfecting a new piece of music, or working on stick control. Even when played with full force at the loudest dynamic, this pad absorbs the blows and controls the volume for longer and later practice. One side features a softer. The other side has a harder black rubber surface with slightly more volume, quick rebound and tight articulation ideal for marching and rudimentary practice. Play on any surface, drum or right in your lap. The durable wooden base keeps this pad in place. The 12” size also fits most snare stands for convenient practice. The trademark Vic Firth logo is printed on top, showing the world you’re playing with the right feel. Made in the USA.

Review: Very good pad - Very good pad to use. Very durable and both sides great to play on.
Review: As a snare drummer in need of a pad, great! - With as little bias as possible, I freakin love it. I've used Vic Firth products for a couple of years now and been fully satisfied. This is no exception. I love the versatility of both sides. Excellent for practicing and chop building. I also feel like there arent enough reviews from actual drummers and more people who bought it as a gift. But yea, a little pricier than I wouldve liked but amazing all the same. Its also worth noting its a bit of a dirt magnet, but depending on where you use it, that shouldnt be an issue 1 YEAR EDIT: After almost a year, I've noticed a few things. 1. Biggest thing applies to particularly drum line. The branding at the top that that has no padding is a bit annoying. Drumline involves using the top of a drum head to reduce volume, and with no padding at the top of the "head", I find myself flipping it upside down pretty frequently. 2. It's pretty durable. I carry it to school with me every day and it hasn't had any issues. The padding hasn't suffered excessively after a year of continuous use. The parts I use most are a little worn down, but nothing that isn't normal. 3. It does slip a little if you don't have it on a good surface. At school, I usually have it on my lap or a wooden bar stool. It tends to slip as I'm practicing because I usually use the soft side and the hard side (the side thats on the bottom in this case) isn't very grippy. Just pay attention to what you put it on or how hard you play. I'll also add more pictures, but this concludes my 1 year revisit. Still completely satisfied! Hope this helps

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this one better than the real feel pad?**
A: I have both and I think they are both great. The Vic firth has a little more bounce I think so it depends on what you want. I love both

**Q: Does it have a rim**
A: No sure what you mean by rim... the pad part of the drumming pad is bulged out just like any standard drumming pad.

**Q: What kind of a stand do I need? Can you lead me in the right direction of what type I need.**
A: A snare stand will work. You don't actually need any sort of stand. It can be placed on anything. If you like to sit and play, make sure you get a stand that will allow you to lower it low enough so you can sit and play comfortably. I don't know a ton about stands, sorry.

**Q: is the back side just meant to be louder, or does it serve some other purpose?**
A: One side is quieter than the other but it also is a softer playing service and simulates a lower tension surface like a tom. This way you can develop your chops!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It's a good one.
*by T***R on January 3, 2014*

This is built to last. It is mechanically stable, and the sound has a sharp focus. You can make your own judgment about the liveliness of the bounce, but I find it excellent for practice purposes. It blends well with others like it, so your drum line can practice all together. A nice feature is the suitability for use with widely varying stick weights. This pad works best on a stand, but it is also OK on a table. It won't migrate with vibration, nor will it transmit shock to the supporting surface. I'm not sure why it's configured dodecahedronally, but that doesn't bother me. After all, drummers aren't supposed to be very smart. They just consider themselves lucky to be allowed to hang out with musicians. [Ha, ha... stereotype!]. Anyway, a separate case for this might be nice, but it will likely fit inside a solid side snare case right on top of the drum itself. Try not to spill sugary beverages on the playing surfaces; and if you do, clean off the residue with diluted dish soap or Goo-Gone. I've seen some older pads that have started to delaminate. However, this one looks likely to last. If it does begin to separate, a little Plio-Bond should solve the problem. That's a rubber cement that dries springy instead of rock hard. Finally, remember, "the beat goes on!"
