Practice pad?

Did you start learning 'drums' on a gum rubber pad like this glued to a wood block? Me too!

It worked find 'back in the day' and I am sure it would work just as well today. But now we have so many options it is hard to pick the right pad for the right setting. For me, here is what I am currently using for practice pads.

Travel pad:

It's small, gummy base and easy to throw in a suitcase or backpack.

Jam pad:

Love the four different surfaces here and you can play like a kit or use the various surfaces and feels for replicating the concept and context of a drum set.

Workout pad:

My go-to daily pad since February 2018. I start each day here with a standard workout routine to get warmed up. Also small enough to throw in a backpack and in my travels.

I love them all for different reasons, but for sure the Reflexx has helped me build up my wrists and speed the most.

Hundreds of options on the market but these are mine.
