Introducing the new series of Vic Firth Heavy Hitter practice pads, a completely redesigned version of the beloved marching practice pad. Engineered in collaboration with Bill Bachman and Chris Romanowski, the new Heavy Hitter harkens back to the original design, featuring silicone pads for optimal feel and performance. Adding newly integrated rims provides the best and most realistic practice experience. The Slimpad measures 13" overall diameter, and the thin, hard rubber surface provides a high-tension marching snare's authentic feel and response, with quick rebound and tight articulation. Perfect for beginners and more advanced players alike, the new Heavy Hitter series offers the ultimate practice solution for marching percussionists.
