Make Your Own Practice Pad For $10

[@DrumeoOfficial]

The pricing shown in the video is all of the products added together up until that point, so we did build the pad for less than 10 bucks! Just in case there was some confusion. :)

[@apinakapinastorba]

Drumeo Still confused 😄

[@jamesfulmer7080]

Drumeo WHAT???

[@ChrisBairDrums]

Drumeo first item $4 second item $4 and third $1.25 = $9.25 (less than $10) I knew math class would come in handy someday 😂

Bought a can of Flex Seal and made 6 pads out of 1 can about 8" in diameter, 1/4" thick. The bounce response is so great, you have to be careful not to knock your eye out. $30 per can but comes out to $5 per pad surface, plus scrap plywood.

i need to see the behind the scenes because i know it took a couple takes to film the intro of yall throwing sticks and drums pads at this man lol

"like a mouse pad" *looks at mouse pad* How badly do I want this

[@josemoralesmusic1003]

I Need a tutorial about how to make a bass drum practice pad🙏🏼

[@OdaKa]

Marching bass? I imagine you could get a 14" long piece of wood maybe 1.5"x1.5" thick and glue one of these pads to each end, then contrive some sort of stand or harness for it. Maybe drill a hole in it and stick in a dowel that's the thickness of the top part of a cymbal stand so you can use it in a cymbal stand.

[@calatwork7308]

If you're using a kick pedal, from what I hear (I only got into drums during this quarantine), you can use an old mattress to beat the head into, and apparently it doesn't feel too far off from a real kick drum.

[@boblobgobstopper13214]

@@calatwork7308 seems like it would be a pretty large and impractical practice pad but that’s better than noise complaints

[@calatwork7308]

@@boblobgobstopper13214 I mean, if it's for the bass pedal, you can just prop it up against the wall

[@ruste9223]

Couch.

[@Rockin_Ross]

Good stuff. I found anything less than 1/4” or thicker neoprene rubber was worthless. All my sticks did was push through the thinner stuff and I’d be hitting wood. One good thing about this thinner material is you can layer cotton batting under it for a pad that has very little bounce for muscle memory work. Great DIY stuff here, man!

[@OdaKa]

mouse pads?

[@Abby-wj5je]

You don’t even necessarily need the glue or the wood board. You could just put the foam on a sidewalk/road/big rock if you’re outside or on the floor or a table if you’re inside

[@GageDrums]

Put it in the road and kneel down and play on it.. Let us know how that goes for you👍🏻😉

[@Abby-wj5je]

Gage Pine I sit on the ground with my legs out and my drum pad between them to practice all the time

[@ludicovic]

Car mudflaps make a nice practice surface. Especially the thick ones they put on trucks. Lots of old wrecks out there with free practice pads still attached to them.

[@congerscott6064]

My friend did this and now his dad's wet suit for diving has two big holes in it , LOL 😃

[@AmazingKenDottie]

Were the "two big holes" in the "cheeks" area!? 😁😆😁

[@AceFurley]

the cheapest(! to 15$) place mats or "welcome" floor mats use a thicker version of the mouse pad material. Its spendier than the 10$ budget, but you can make a lot more pads.

[@flyingcrowbar8340]

Next video should be about "how to make your own pad stand." Just an idea , I am just saying :D

[@chickenbiscuit958]

I need a tutorial on how to make a tenor practice pad 🙏

[@hosmapl]

Sanding a little bit the cutting board also can make it stick better. I havent tried this, so I'm not talking from an experience, but the down side might be the bounce that you get. I have used a bascket ball between my legs and the bounce It's adjustable with the air in it and the pressure that yo aply with your legs. Worth trying if you practice at home and have a ball layig arround.

[@brandonpratt5130]

This would help with accuracy as if you get to far out they would rebound funny. Very creative

[@weksheddweller]

Does anyone know that music track in the background at 1:42?

[@JulianFernandez]

awesome production!

[@ianmuessig]

Do the same thing except in an upside down plastic frisbee. Only costs $1 and the edge acts like a drum rim for rim shots and cross sticking.

That Moeller technique though

@Drumeo What's the name of your dollar store or were you really at Walmart or Target?

[@reginaparker4076]

While using mouse pad which side to put up the rubber one or the cloth one

[@Daniel240sx]

god bless Thanks for helping i made mine for 3 Dollars total !

[@Clipmations]

Is that similar to the backside of the Vic Firth stock or slim pad

[@tanyakeener1704]

Can’t you just go to Walmart or arts and craft store and buy the foam sheets ??🤔

[@jonathantang6414]

Foam sheets are very brittle and crunchy, wouldn't work for practice pads as hickory or maple ( stick material) are very hard

[@fendertremolo9793]

Idk can you?

[@henryd98]

5:04 I mean mate u don't really need a practic pad but sure

Is that suitable for marching drummers?

[@morinmacias3907]

YHEEEEIII!!! my own practice pad YHEEEEEII!!!

[@XenoTravis]

Damn. If only my QT mouse mat wasn't nice it would be awesome for this. I got the extra thick medium size as well so I bet I could just slap it on some hard surface and be fine. My desk feels like it is taking too much away.

[@kyoza5069]

I would assume so, you'd just need to set it up like a bass drum (put them uhhh, 10-16 inches or whatever size your bass drum is wide)

would an old skateboard suffice?

[@dubya5626]

Want a practice drum pad for under $5? See if your local dollar store or online store has Silly Putty egg -- double or giant size ... Or buy a few for $1.25. Yes. This non-newtonian fluid makes a perfect practice drum pad. Just flatten the putty out to about 1/4" thick patty and slap it on a table or chair. Take it with you on the road with your sticks. The egg makes a nice compact travel case, and saves space of you have a small room or apartment. Done.

Be sure it’s a thick one. Quarter inch or better. I’ve used the thinner ones and it felt like I was just hitting the wood underneath.
