Hear is a video about my favorite practice pads. All of them have real drumheads since that's the only type of pad that I regularly use.
Included are pads made by Sabian, Ludwig and Remo.
Some of these are vintage pads. I also show you an original Henry Adler Quiet Tone Pad.

The best practice pad I have ever used is a 10in Sonor "safari jungle" snare, that I came across sitting atop a dumpster heap, which I filled with rags to deaden the sound.

My percussion professor in college (Dr. John Beckford at Furman University) had two of the Ludwig pads that we used in lessons and I absolutely loved the feel. I never found out what brand they were and now I know. Thanks for the great video, Rick. Cheers.

I bought a new QuietTone a while back, based on your previous video. It’s all I use now. Great pad. Thank you.

7:00 that thing sticking out the side holds a set of Musser bells. I had the practice pad/bell set for 6th grade beginner band (in the early 80s).

Thanks Rick. I just bought a Sabian QT14-SD - what a revelation. Everything feels right straight out of the box. Ive been using the Real Feel for a few years and what a dog that pad is. Dead as! Suddenly everything works as it should. All the muscles feel right.

Hello! Could you tell me,please, what kind of plastic you recommend for Sabian Qt-14-SD? I will be so grateful for this.

Drumslinger Corps Pad or Marcher Pad. Great response and built like a tank. Bill Olsen is the owner and producer and provides great customer service.

I have the Ludwig 10" black bottom w/ Ensemble head.Bought it for $20 from a buddy.An amazing feel!

@robinjohnson6301 Год назад

Great video - very informative! Do you have an opinion on the Remo Silentstroke Practice pad? It has a mesh head but by all accounts seems to be much more liked than the Sabian mesh pad.

@rickdior Год назад

Hi Robin I have not tried that pad yet, so I don't have an opinion on it, but I generally do not like mesh pads or heads. They tear up the tips of your sticks and the electronic versions (Roland) have caused tendinitis in some of my students.

What's on the inside of those ludwig pads? I have one of the newer remo pads and I've opened it up and inside was a circular pad of foam.

Great stuff Rick. I have both the 10" and 14" Sabian Quiet tone pads ... they are great. By the way, I love the Cocobolo sticks. Is it normal to have the fulcrums of each hand feeling a little differently when using reverse tip sticks versus the barrel tip ones especially when articulating accents and bringing them out? Thank you!

@rickdior Год назад

Hi John The reverse tips are front-loaded because the tip is heavier. They bounce more than a normal tip.

@johndiraimo1444 Год назад

@@rickdior Thanks Rick.

I have a friend who works for Sabian, and as of 2 weeks ago they have released a new iteration of the Quiet Tone pads that is apparently more responsive and easier to play near the rim. I will find out how to make sure that I'm getting one of the new ones through a retailer and will be buying one after that.

@redbackmike850457 Год назад

that figures. I just bought one and it feels great by the rim. I have seen older videos that Rick did on them and he shows how this area was much more dead in earlier versions. Feels great now

@user-es2jq8fi8u 4 месяца назад

I have the old Ludwig 10 inch version I purchased in the 70s and agree, there's no better pad for the feel of a drum. The Remo and newer Ludwig pads are as close as I've found but don' really compare. I replaced the head with a regular head and it doesn't tighten down correctly. Have you replaced any of the heads? If so, what did you use. I know the Remo practice pad heads are different from regular heads and wondering if those heads would work better.

@owensantolucito-kc5wh Месяц назад

would the quiet tone be good for concert/orchestra?? im looking for smth new and dont know what to do

@leiferickson3183 Год назад

Is the currently available Ludwig practive pad any good? The one I found is the L379 and is around $45

@rickdior Год назад

No, that one is similar to the Remo pads.

@leiferickson3183 Год назад

Well I just got my New Quiet Tone from Sabian (I ordered it after seeing your earlier video on them) and they didnt include the inner legs - they just put the rubber caps on the tension rods which means that you cannot set this on a snare as the position of the "Feet" are outside the rim. Either this is a mistake or they found a way to increase their margin without understanding how the product is used. I'm going to copy paste this to the other video. I guess I am off to the hardware store.

@rickdior Год назад

Wow, that's terrible news. Try using 4 longer tension rods and replace what is there and cap the ends.
