Vic Firth 6-Inch Double-Sided Practice Pad
When to choose it
Choose the PAD6D when you need a compact pad and want to practice on two surfaces in the same session. The softer grey side gives you one response for warmups. Flip it to the harder black side to compare a faster rebound for rudiments. Use the same pattern to make the difference easy to feel.
The six-inch surface travels easily but gives you less room for broad patterns. Compare a larger pad if your exercises need space. If you want an elevated setup, check the intended support. The 6-inch RealFeel RF6GM is an alternative when you specifically need an 8 mm threaded insert.

Questions about this accessory
Which surface should I start with for rudiments?
Vic Firth describes the harder black side as quicker to rebound and suitable for rudimentary practice.
Does it have the same mount as the Evans RF6GM?
Evans documents an 8 mm fitting on that model. Check the support for the PAD6D independently.
Can I fit a 12-inch pattern on this pad?
Choose by the space the exercise needs. This is the six-inch model, so a 12-inch surface gives more room for wider strokes.
