Want to make your own practice pad?
Want to choose from a variety of different surfaces, textures and thicknesses, and a variety of base plate materials?
Now you can.
PadParts is LIVE and taking orders.
I've ordered materials for an 11" pad with 10" playing surface, big enough to really chop on and small enough to fit in my bag. Top will be gum rubber, bottom will be recycled rubber and the baseplate is a dark green ForesColor (a kind of Valchromat).
(Disclaimer: PadParts is owned and operated by the folks at Beetle Percussion, makers of the most sustainable practice pads on the market.)
All bases and surfaces are precision-cut. Bases come with a chamfered edge for a neat finished look and reduced snags. Pad Parts also sells a couple different kinds of industrial glue -- use sparingly and in a well-ventilated area -- so you can make you own sturdy practice pad at home.
Check it out and place your order soon!
