Kind of a holy grail among marching drummers. First-generation Vic Firth Stockpad. Extremely hard to find. (The Slimpad is even more scarce, and those who own one aren't letting go.)
The first generation Stockpad DOES look, feel and sound different than subsequent generations of this pad. Marching drummers who came up with this version of the pad swear by it.
I now find myself with two, which is sort of unheard of. I will try to sell one. If I can't, I'll know that the end of the world is nigh.
Have you ever considered sanding down and painting the edge of the wood? I have thought about it for mine but haven’t decided.
