Description
NEAR SILENT: this is Meinl's quietest practice pad; a special "marshmallow" foam surface absorbs stick sound and reduces spring-back.WHY IT MATTERS: you can chop out at any hour, in any space, without disturbing people around you; build up your hands faster by eliminating constraints on when or where you practice.ONE BIG THING: the marshmallow foam strengthens your muscles more than traditional gum rubber pads with its reduced rebound; the feel is similar to playing on a cloth car seat or loose tension floor tom.OF NOTE: you can mount this pad onto any cymbal stand; on the bottom is a universal 8 mm threaded connector to spin the pad in place on your stand—it's recessed to not scratch your desk or table.ZOOM IN: the sturdy and dense modern composite base is lined on bottom so the pad won't shift if practicing on a table; the lining is non-slip, plus, it creates a barrier to avoid scratches and cuts down noise/vibration.BY THE NUMBERS: 6" diameter travel size; 20 mm thick marshmallow foam pad, 19 mm thick base, 5 mm thick soft foam lining.THE BOTTOM LINE: you'll see faster growth in your sticking and muscles during practice and performance.THE BIG PICTURE: Meinl is a family-owned musical instrument manufacturer and brand established 1951 in Germany; our expert German designers have deep relationships with our builders to ensure you're delivered the absolute finest quality
