Vic Firth - PAD12D Pad d'entrainement 12" Double Face

The Vic Firth PAD12D 12" Double-Sided Practice Pad is the go-to tool for drummers looking to hone their technique, stick control and stamina away from the acoustic kit.

Built around a dense, highly durable wooden base, this accessory features two distinct playing surfaces made from natural rubber, each offering diametrically opposed rebound characteristics.

Its comfortable 12" diameter means it fits instantly onto most standard snare drum stands or sits stably on the thighs or any table, absorbing the energy of impacts even during the most intense practice sessions.

The first side, covered in soft grey rubber, is specifically calibrated to replicate the realistic tension and rebound of a genuine drumhead, forcing the wrist to work deeply to develop muscle strength and control.

Turning the pad over reveals a second side made of much harder black rubber: this provides an ultra-fast response, instant rebound and very precise articulation, essential qualities for practising rudiments and meeting the demands of marching drumming.

This dual configuration allows you to practise at low volume at any time of day, without compromising on the authentic feel of the strike.
