Designed to mimic the feel and rebound of real drums, practice pads are a great solution for acoustic drummers who want to practise their fills, rolls and rhythms in silence.
Picking the Best Practice Pad
Practice pads come in various shapes and sizes. Some are designed to resemble specific drumheads in terms of attack and rebound, while other models have a more universal design fit for honing various drumming techniques. Practice pads feature either a single or various different playing surfaces and can be placed on a table or secured to a stand or drum. Some models even come loaded with a handful of electronic sounds. If you're looking fully-fledged electronic drums, be sure check out our range of Electronic Percussion Pads or head to our Electronic Drum Kit department.
Practice pads are particularly helpful for drummers who live in an apartment building or any other noise-sensitive place where playing acoustic drums can be a nuisance or simply isn't permitted. At the same time, practice pads are perfect for practising or warming-up while on-the-road, and even make for an affordable option when introducing kids to percussion. Flip through our range to find the best practice pad for your needs.
Practice Pad Exercises
There are loads of practice pad exercises that you can do to improve your skills or technique, including the Moeller-method to help level up your speed and efficiency as well as limb independence exercises to improve your left-hand/right-hand coordination.
