The David Ellis “Hybrid” Signature Practice Pad (patent pending) features a 13” signature blue graphic playing surface. This protective surface enhances stick articulation and simulation like a high tension marching drum head. A 360° replicated hard rubber rim is applied around the perimeter of the playing surface to replicate an actual rim. The back side of the pad features a mini quint tenor layout for practicing exercises, patterns, developing muscle memory and writing music. The 3” red center spot on the backside can also be used as a focus spot for working on precision. The Blue Nylon material surrounding the five tenor spots serves as a moderate workout practice surface. Snare basket receivers assure total stability and provide angle options. The pad base is constructed from Baltic Birch providing excellent durability, solid feel and pitch. Fits inside a 14” hoop on a snare drum.
