Remo, known for Mylar drum heads and tunable practice pads, broke from their own tradition for a brief time in 1963-65 with a practice pad made of white rubber affixed to Masonite. Remo made this pad in a couple different sizes: this larger one (7.5” base, 5” rubber surface), and a smaller one (5.5” base, 4” rubber surface). I’d seen the smaller size a few years ago and was told it came from a trade show. Then I acquired this larger version. The rubber is still bouncy, but firm.
Not sure how many they made, but it can’t have been too many; it only appears in the bigger drum catalogs for a couple of years.
