“As a public school music educator/ marching percussion specialist, and professional musician, practice pads and drums cross my path on a daily basis. The Invader Pad has become my pad of choice—period.
It is an aesthetically wonderful looking pad and virtually indestructible. The students in my band and percussion program have used the same set of Invader practice pads for over a year and they still look incredible–from the abuse of my beginning percussionists to the day to day “chop outs” from my high school students.
The pad fits comfortably inside a 14″ snare drum or perfectly on either side in a snare stand basket.
The “rim” offers life-like snare practice and feel, offering true simulation of snare drum playing–no need to alter technique or approach. It’s also great for practicing cross sticking rhythms.
Finally, the pad just sounds great! PERIOD! At varied dynamic levels, this pad is the most articulate pad I have ever played!”
