Percussion pads practice part 2-which one is best for you?

In part, with the help of one of this series of articles and described two types of inserts with practices that are readily available through most of the merchants. In part two I will go into more detail what makes these two styles are different and more specific details of each. Recap, two kinds of inserts are one type of upper gums and standard type 2) drum head.

Lets first examine the console style rubber

This style is the oldest type of around and offers the simplest project into two parts, base and rubber pad. Many people will be sure the pad of the drum to the old style as flat-bottomed piece of wood, with another piece of wood tipped up and secured the DNA fragment using the rubber pad "attached to this.

As mentioned earlier, primarily constructed to provide a sound, but many quietest aeroplanes drummers Prefer the feel of the drum style front head pad. Now is common to See these inserts in shapes such as round, square, rectangular and even octagonal and may have varying thickness of rubber, as well as reference material. Most manufacturers use a rubber or neoprene synthetic rubber, and both can ensure a high quality drumming the surface. Rubber thickness varies typically from 1/8 "to 1/4". This is important, as much to determine the volume of manufactured and will affect the way of action or reflection well. Generally better quality pads have a 1/4 "rubber because this provides a more solid, realistic bounce, which prefers the percussionists. The color of the gums are usually black or tan. The material used for the base is usually a wood or wood composite, but often to see how well plastic. Heavier overall console, the better it plays, and the extra weight helps to keep the console from the moving parts.

With all of the drum pads, they are available in different size diameters. Common for manufacturers to insert a 6 "or 8" and up to 12 "diameter. There are also some inexpensive washers made from a sheet of 4 ". Many people will prefer a larger diameter, because it gives more space to play and will help to simulate a game on a real drum. Smaller diameter, weigh less pads are usually more convenient to carry around. The Problem with smaller diameter of the PADS is just that; smaller size is equal to, less space to play.

Now let's talk about the style of the drum head pad

Most of the drum head style inserts are similar in design. They have a basis, usually made of plastic, padding material placed on the base and the head of the drum is located at. The drum head and padding are then held in place by plastic rim, which is secured to the base with the screws. These inserts are often labeled as a tunable, due to the fact that the propeller can be tightened or loosened by modifying the voltage at the head of the drum and thus changes the signal or sound generated by the application of the console. In this case the tuning does not refer to changing alignment of pits, and the quality of the signal.

One immediately notices that the head drum style console has a much louder sound than the upper rubber pad. The main reason for using the drum head is similar to the actual surface of the drum as possible, while still some reduction in the volume and providing for a smaller unit of practice. As with the upper rubber pads come in various sizes, typically 6 "or 8". There are also larger versions. Due to a more complex structure of these pads, which they usually more expensive than style rubber, there is no certain very affordable models. The head of the drum is changed at the most from one manufacturer to another. They are usually will brand the drum head. Vary the surface textures, some very smooth, some raw and all of the nozzle. This style had features not available in the top of the rubber. Simulates the feel and look of the real drum plays some drummers, such as. The head of the drum also works with brushes.

When deciding on which console to buy you should really provide both styles quick trial versions. The best thing to do is make a list of how and where you might want to use the console, then navigate to the local music store and ask to try both styles. Then make its decision. It is not uncommon for one of each of them; one for use at home or in the course of the trial, and the second when the volume is not a problem and will be a need to more clearly hear the masters. In any case, will be the same for the benefit of a practice pad. It is easy to carry with you, and will inspire to practice more often.

Now a lot of fun playing!
