Yamaha tools for portable Drum and Percussion Practice PadsYamaha Debuts an Array of Tools for Portable Drum and Percussion Practice . Yamaha makes it easier than ever for drummers to refine their chops—anytime, anywhere. With six new products to choose from, Yamaha Corporation of America, Band & Orchestral Division's new practice accessories meet the needs and budget of every drummer.Two new Snare pads—the 11" PP-360, and its smaller brother, the 9" PP-260—can travel anywhere, yet boast realistic snare feel and sound, thanks to a set of small copper BBs housed under the pad. "Customers consistently request a realistic snare sound," states Troy Wollwage, Manager, Percussion. "These pads prove you really can take it with you." Even more compact are the Dead Beats series of drumsticks, which sport built-in practice pads. They come in two styles: the DB-S (standard) and the DB-M (marching). Both models offer a great feel, and - thanks to the pad built into the tip - unmatched portability and convenience. The Dead Beats should appeal to beginners and experienced players alike. "This product provides a fun and cost-effective way for any player to practice on the road or at school," Wollwage notes. Advanced marching-band drummers, students, and instructors are sure to appreciate Yamaha's new PPQ-550, the first practice pad to offer the actual spacing for a large set of Yamaha Field-Corps sextets. This handsome, lightweight practice tool features tonal reference pads, which provide the player with aural feedback as he or she builds muscle memory. "This tenor pad complements anyone playing Yamaha marching percussion," Wollwage says. "The tonal reference pads allow for easier part recognition in practice and rehearsal settings." For the beginning Tenor player, Yamaha also offers the smaller PPQ-500. Although it boasts the same quality construction of the PPQ-550, the PPQ-500's compact size and light weight make it easy to carry around. "The PPQ-500 allows beginning players to get accustomed to drum location while improving mallet control, stick technique and coordination," Wollwage states. "It's ideal for the young musician who's playing Yamaha marching percussion." + Post comment/question/reply
