Premium Practice Pad for Musicians - AHSHPB Model - Perfect for Drummers, Guitarists & Piano Players at Home, Studio or Live Performances

This is a great pad for the price especially if you want a Xymox Percussion Pad without putting a dent in your wallet and not having to wait months on months for it to arrive. This pad is great for all your practice needs. It has a rim so that you can hit rim shots however it does not give the nice sound that a real snare drums gives but it does allow you to get the feel when playing sheet music. There is a "sticker" in the middle of the pad, this is the head and where the best sound quality can be found. The Gum Rubber on the back of the pad give the user an opportunity to play at a lower volume if needed and also gives the pad the sound of a concert snare drum. In the very center on the back side of the pad is a medal plate that, on a Xymox pad, can be used to tighten the beads inside to give it a more tighter snare sound however on this pad the nuts on the back are dummy nuts and do nothing. In order to give the pad the longest life span, it is heavily recommended to use nylon tipped sticks otherwise the wood tips will break the head of the pad much faster than normal. I recommend this pad to the serious drummers who want to really practice or to the beginners who have full intentions of furthering there skills.
