ABSTRACT:
A percussion practice pad is formed of a panel supporting a layer of material for intercepting blows of drum sticks and for muting sounds produced by the striking of the drum sticks. The panel which serves as a base for resisting forces of the drum sticks is made of wood or plastic and is spaced apart by normally disposed wall members from a cushioned contact surface. The contact surface may be formed directly within an edge of a wall member, or within a plate attached thereto, and is curved so as to mate comfortably with the leg of a percussionist during use. The pad is adapted by means of an adjustable strap to be comfortable and stably secured about the thigh of the user.
