Vic Firth Heavy Hitter Marching Bass Practice Pad
When to choose it
Choose the HHPBASS if you want to rehearse hand strokes in the vertical position of a marching bass drum. The steel bar supports rubber playing surfaces. Set it on a compatible cymbal stand so you can see stick angles and heights from your playing position.
This is a different practice exercise from alternating strokes on a horizontal tabletop pad. Use the vertical layout when lining up the two hands around the drum is the skill you want to practice. Check the stand’s mounting hardware and stability before ordering the pad.
