Practice pad should be one of the drummer’s best firend. Gearwise of course. You just can’t develop your overall skills, paradiddles, rudiments and other stuff without it. You just can’t forget that tapping noise wich for has for sure appeared in your nightmares. But you also couldn’t be more grateful when you crush all these super fast tempos after a good round of practising. It’s just like that. Pads will be necessary. Always. Producers know that, and they are making pads in different sizes, materials or rubber structures. Some pads are signed by the great names of drumming world. Now the time has come for something brand new. The new pad from Ahead company called Wicked Chops.
This pad will help you develop precision. That’s for sure. It’s very small but solid and to hit it right you must think before you act and plan your every hit. It’s all about precise drumming which is very needed especially in fast genres such as metal or in marching bands where sticking is simply essential. It’s cast aluminum and mounts on any 8mm threaded stand!
Here are 5 of the biggest benefits:
1. Precision: Stroke accuracy and definition of phrasing and patterns.
2. Dynamics: Increased ability to smoothly and starkly vary volume and speed
3. Power: Consistency of strength and maximum stick heights (without banging!).
4. Speed: Ability to comfortably navigate high and low tempos with precision.
5. Endurance: Apply all of the above while economizing your energy.
All of these will also greatly improve your control of phrasing, patterns and overall musicality when applied to your instruments.
Current Wicked Chops Artists include:
Billy Cobham
Ian Paice
Dom Famularo
Glen Sobel
Dylan Elise
A.D. Adams
Kelley Marie Kubitz
Dominic Fragman (one of the Wicked Chops developer)
