The Best Marching Snare Practice Pad?

[@pharmaflam]

For quiet practice, still using my 12” HQ RealFeel pad (yes, I’m old). I have learned to efficiently stack all my other pads currently not in use … probably not alone in this behavior. Nice option to be able to easily remove the snare “rods”; waiting for the FR custom edition 😂

[@FreestyleRudiments]

yea FR custom one day LOL :) Realfeel with graffiti all over is still a classic choice!

[@DeeboComing]

How old is that pad?? Would you sell it?

[@blue-jy]

I haven’t seen a video like this in YEARS

[@FreestyleRudiments]

I am really liking this Brittcorp pad! The Offworld Invader v3 has been my pad of choice for most of my practice with the grey Vic firth for quiet sessions and the Brash pad getting a lot of laptop practice. so Whats your current favourite pad??

[@hectorluna1829]

Real feel

[@as0-gamer999]

My favorite is the vic firth quadropad (but note I'm a tenor drummer lol) For a snare pad my favorite rn is the stockpad, but the bottom side of the Carlos botello pad is my favorite for chop building

@@as0-gamer999I’m ngl I hope I don’t stop seeing you everywhere, if there’s drums your some how always there 😅

Drumslinger Corps Pad & Drumslinger Marcher Pad

[@Scooped_Orange]

I only have 1 pad and it's a 6 inch evans real feel... so i suppose thats my go to pad. stacking it on dense materials like wood or marble, sometimes books, helps the feel a lot.

[@FreestyleRudiments]

good tip!

[@yorkie74]

Thanks. Great view. I’m off to order one of those.

[@FreestyleRudiments]

Hope you enjoy it! let us know how it holds up and feels!

[@PARAMONARIOS]

Pretty cool! I always wanted to ask you about that high tension pad that looks just like a top part of a marching snare drum - did you make it yourself by removing the drum shell from some old snare drum? Or is there a place where one can get them?

[@naruke9373]

i think its a drum without the shell. Sdjmalik has a video on it. look up "Sdjmalik snare pad" and it should be the first video.

[@FreestyleRudiments]

yes as @naruke9373 said its the top of a premier HTS snare drum (with snare connected). mine has a different setup underneath with different wires and connectors but that was a custom job and the standard ones are pretty decent

[@PARAMONARIOS]

@@FreestyleRudiments thank you!

[@duanebradley974]

You should look at the Loyal Drums Eviction pad! It’s so nice!

[@ronaldgabrieljuan8624]

Which of them is more articulate or springy, Invader or Brittcorp?

[@FreestyleRudiments]

They are VERY sim I would say Invader tiny bit more low bounce and Brittcorp tiny bit more spring

[@somericanguy]

I'm sold

[@FreestyleRudiments]

let us know if it holds up and how it feels when you get one!

[@brileyryan1542]

What size of your wooden circle on your stand that you put the pads on?

[@Kandodndosjsoejwoe]

Sold.

[@Justinz_10]

My go to pad is the donnor 12 inch pad

[@vivridbeast2k76]

Can you teach us how to play spanks from Boston crusaders?

[@gavinnotsmart6473]

Would you ever maybe review a rudimental drummers corp pad in the near future?

[@FreestyleRudiments]

If they sent me one. But I am not expert in rope drums

[@Scooped_Orange]

@@FreestyleRudiments they have several different models, designed for different styles. They have a drum corp pad, pipe band pad, rope drum pad, and you can even make your own custom made pad, making it feel the way you want.

[@RonaldRumRaisin]

What are some good kick drum practice pads?

[@FreestyleRudiments]

sorry I dont have any kick drum practice pads.

[@jonathanmiddleton6035]

very nice

[@FreestyleRudiments]

Thanks for watching , its a nice pad

[@DennisJohnsonDrummer]

Drumslinger Corps Pad or Marcher Pad. Great response & customer service. A very realistic feel and built like a tank.

[@FreestyleRudiments]

i've not come across these yet (at least in "real life") will look out for them

[@DennisJohnsonDrummer]

@@FreestyleRudiments You should look into them for sure. I have three and love them. And I've played on almost every pad known to mankind!

[@JulianFernandez]

nice pad!

[@FreestyleRudiments]

yea from what ive seen so far im keen to see where they go

[@FreestyleRudiments]

[@Streetnamedak]

I wanted the one you showed at the beginning till you said $120 dollars. I think I’ll stay with my invader 😔

[@markponekovic3415]

That pad fooled me i thought it has the little beads which most pad has didn't know it had like wires in it thats very creative

[@tophatjohnny]

I’ll never understand why drum corps all sound like they are playing on table tops?? Disgusting to my ears but explains these table sound crap pads! Geeze

[@FreestyleRudiments]

Drum corps is a competitive activity, snarelines are judged on how well they play together, as the activity progressed elite lines got tighter and tighter, to show off how they are better than the "other" line (so warrant more points) they needed a sound that was more like a table top than a traditional snare drum. The activity is less bothered about having a fat meaty wide snare sound like kit players and more concerned with short sharp sounds that show off how exactly together they are. Over the years the common sound associated to drum corps is the table top sound that is sadly disgusting to your ears. If you want a "fat sound" then look up fife snare drummers and fife drum pads.
