In response to demand for a soft style practice pad option, but available at music retail, Vater Percussion has added the Zero Pad to the already popular Vater Chop Builder Pad product range.
A simplified, one size and color scheme version of a pad concept that have been around for many years in slight variations, the Zero Pad’s plush surface material and ¾” thickness [19.05mm/1.90cm] gives drummers another pad offering that has minimal rebound as compared to a traditional gum rubber pad – making the player focus, fine tune and strengthen their sticking mechanics and technique.
The Vater version is single-sided, measures 11” [279.4mm/27.94cm] in diameter and is quiet in volume due to the nature of the pad material. Covering the back side of the wood base is a thin layer of soft rubber to prevent slipping when placed on a surface, and can also be used in a snare stand.
ADDED BONUS: Each Zero Pad includes a FREE printed Vater Must Know Rudiments chart, as outlined by the Percussive Arts Society, which is essential for any drummer’s lesson binder or practice room.
