The Vic Firth Heavy Hitter Bass Pad features the original “barbell” design which mounts on a cymbal stand for vertical and quiet practice of the marching bass drum. The player can see stick angles, stick heights and “side-to-side line up” while practicing on a 14” wide set-up — just like an actual marching bass drum. The Basspad offers sturdy steel construction, a mounting post designed to fit all brands of cymbal stands and 1/4” thick gum rubber pads for a realistic feel.
