Hi
I've just started doing what I would consider to be 'proper' drum lessons. I have been playing for a while and have taken some tuition studying basic rock beats and so on. But now I have started learning rudiments and correct technique.
The teacher uses a practice pad to show me rudiments. He places his pad on a snare separate from the kit which I sit at. I wouldn't mind getting hold of a practice pad but want something I can use away from my E-kit, say for using when i'm just sat on the sofa.
I've seen some knee practice pads, but are they any good? The pads themselves look tiny and i'm not sure having something strapped to your knee is the right position for drumming. My first thought was to buy a normal practice pad but do these need to be placed on a kit in order to be used properly?
Opinions would be appreciated
Thanks
