The Vic Firth Heavy Hitter drum pad series has been redesigned in collaboration with its original designers, marching percussion greats Bill Bachman and Chris Romanowski. The new Heavy Hitter snare drum practice pads utilize the classic elements of the original design, featuring a silicone playing surface for optimal feel and performance. The new addition of an integrated rim to the Slimpad provides the most authentic and realistic marching practice pad experience available, giving the feel and rebound of a high tension marching snare drum.
