Drum Tip – Use a Practice Pad

One great training tool for any drummer is a practice pad. These are small wood or plastic pads with a rubber playing surface. The pads are portable, much quieter than a drum, and are excellent for increasing your strength and accuracy while playing. Some practice pads have two opposite playing surfaces, a hard rubber side for strength training and a softer side for quiet practice. Try practicing rudiments on a pad while watching TV. You could even bring a practice pad with you to a performance and use it to warm up offstage.
