The Vic Firth Heavy Hitter Quadropad is a completely redesigned marching practice pad engineered in collaboration with marching percussion educators Bill Bachman and Chris Romanowski — built for the needs of the modern marching percussionist from the ground up. The Small Quadropad is a portable, scaled-down version of the large Heavy Hitter pad featuring the same integrated spock drum design for seamless movement between five and six drum configurations, an integrated rim design for the most realistic practice experience available, classic gum rubber playing surfaces, and a set of precut laminates for extra articulation. Perfect for beginners and advancing players alike.
Integrated Spock Drum Design
Seamles
sly move between five and six drum
configurations without changing pads —
a unique design that serves both
standard and expanded marching
bass/tenor configurations.
Integrated Rim Design
Newly
designed integrated rims deliver the
most realistic practice experience
available — rim shots and rim clicks
practice naturally alongside center
strokes for complete technique
development.
Classic Gum Rubber Pads
Traditional
gum rubber playing surfaces provide the
authentic rebound feel and stick
response that marching percussionists
rely on for technique development.
Portable Small Format
A scaled-down
version of the large Quadropad for
better portability — the full Heavy
Hitter practice experience in a more
travel-friendly size.
Precut Laminates Included
A set of
precut laminates is included for
players who want extra articulation
from the playing surface.
Engineered with Bill Bachman and Chris Romanowski
Developed in direct
collaboration with two of the most
respected names in marching percussion
education.
