When beginning to learn the drums, the first thing you will need is a practise pad. The Sonic Drive SDP-P8-BLK 8″ Practise Pad has a natural rebound feel, essential in retaining the feel of a real drum when learning your basic rudiments. A practise pad is also great for professional players, allowing them to warm up before gigs or practise while on the road. Their portability and low volume make them an essential item for catching up on your practise wherever you are. Can be used with most practise pad stands with 8mm thread.
