Grip Peddler These are polyurethane pads that adhere to your kick or high hat peddles and they give you more traction and reduce the impact to your foot. They are available in a number of colors and surfaces. Grip Peddler |
Hand Drum Mounting System This is a clever little system that lets you use standard drum hardware to mount your hand drums. Everyone's Drumming Company |
Drummer Practice Pads Since Drummers are going to do this anyway, you might as well save the bruises. These pads are reversible and have two different surfaces. diggit, Inc. |
Ahead Drumsticks Now your drummer can be part of the light show. These sticks have a self-contained laser. Big Bang Distribution |
Cymbal Socks These rubber cymbal covers are an incredibly effective system for dampening cymbals for practice. When I whacked on one of these I got nothing but a quiet thump. There are some drummers I've worked with that should use these live. Soundcheck Rehearsal Products |
Drum with built in spring reverb Remo had these cool little hand drums that had a spring hanging off the center of one of the heads. What you got was a cool twangy reverb while you played it. Remo |
Kick Drum Beaters Pictured here are the "Speedball" (the two gray ones in front) and the "Slug" model kick drum beaters. The slug looks like it's reversible for different sounds. Big Bang Distribution |
Boomwhackers The hat has nothing to do with making sound but it got me to take a picture of these guys. They must really want to sell their product. In any case these tuned tubes are pretty cool. Whacky Music, Inc. |
