Perfect for the marching tenor drummer, the Heavy Hitter Small Quadropad was designed and laid out to exactly match the ideal set of marching quads. The pads are spaced from the playable part of each drum, just inside of the drum shell's bearing edge. The small Quadropad includes 2 rubber "spock" drum pads, giving the player the ability to set up 5 drum or 6 drum configurations. "Spock" drum pads are made with thinner gum rubber than the 4 main quad drums, allowing for a more authentic feel. Sturdy wooden base features open cell foam rubber for the ultimate in skid-resistance. The drum pads included on this set approximate the accurate playing areas of 6", 8", 10", 12" and 13" inch drums, and are laid out accurately and cut for ALL playing areas, both standard and "scrape". Vic Firth Heavy Hitter Quadropads now come with laminates included. Laminates are heavy duty 14 mil Mylar discs that come with a special double-sided adhesive. Simply peel off the backing, and apply to the Vic Firth Heavy Hitter pad of your choice. Because of the easy peal and stick feature, the Laminate can be added, replaced or upgraded at anytime.
