Vic Firth Double-Sided Practice Pads (6" & 12")

Vic Firth Double-Sided Practice Pad

The Vic Firth Double-Sided Practice Pad is one of the most widely used drum practice pads for drummers who need a realistic playing surface while keeping practice volume under control. Designed with two distinct rubber playing surfaces, this portable pad allows drummers to work on technique, stick control, and rudiments whether practicing at home, backstage, or on the road.

One side features a soft gray rubber surface that closely replicates the feel of a drumhead while keeping volume low—ideal for quiet practice and developing wrist strength. The reverse side uses a hard black rubber surface that delivers faster rebound, greater articulation, and clearer attack, making it perfect for marching-style practice and rudimental exercises.

The durable wooden base provides a stable playing platform that stays in place on almost any surface. The larger 12-inch model can also be mounted on most standard snare drum stands for a more traditional playing position. Portable and reliable, Vic Firth practice pads are trusted by students, educators, and professional drummers worldwide.
