Setting a new standard in drummers practice pads for the beginner and pro alike, RudiMats are a new type of drum and cymbal silencer for quiet practice which incorporates double-sided laminated pads of medium density 5mm rubber and 3mm polymer blend neoprene which helps develop strength in the wrist while not compromising on stick response.
RudiMats also include cymbal deadening pads with a hold in the corner for hooking over the cymbal stand tilter. The circular 14” hi-hat has a hole drilled in the centre so that you can slip it over your hi-hat centre rod to sit on the bottom cymbal. The bass drum is different in that it’s a single 25mm (1”) thick disc of slightly less dense LD18 foam rubber, the same material the US Forces use for equipment protect in there flight cases. The pad is not laminated because there is only a small central area that gets beaten, so a 3” diameter sticky-backed neoprene pas is provided. Fixed where your beater makes contact this serves as a hard-wearing target.
The bass pad slots snugly under the hoops of your drum kit. A notch cut out of the tops allows you to disengage the pad from the head easily, and a larger keyhole slot cut into the bottom prevents interference with your pedal. The only problem is that because the pad is extra thick, it does affect the feel of your pedal. One answer is to take off the front head and lodge the pad against the inside of your batter head. Not so convenient, but still very effective.
Pads can be sold individually yet you get more value for money when purchased as a set. Rock and Fusion sets are the same price, although you can stipulate 20” or 22” bass drum with either. You can also opt to leave out the cymbal and hi-hat pads if you prefer. Finally, for those who just want a single small practice pad there’s a 8” Minipad.
