Listen "7 | Practice Pad Shootout"
Episode Synopsis
Get ready to tap that! The Mikes bounce like a hovercraft over contentious (but bouncy) waters to debate using practice pads for good and evil in one’s musical development. The Duo discusses pad selection, and setup, and makes some recommendations for pads in several categories. Pads mentioned, in no particular order:
Ikea bath towels
Tom’s Pad
The Billy Hyde
Vic Firth Stock Pad
The Remo Practice Pad
Remo Silentstroke Heads
Sabian Quiet Tone
Timpani practice pad
Vic Firth Chop-Out Practice Sticks
Dragonfly Practice Mallets
Mike C endorses Vic Firth pads and sticks, Beetle Pads, and Remo drumheads.
Rebecca Moore is our wonderful audio editor.
