Vater has added the Zero Pad to its Vater Chop Builder Pad product range. The Zero Pad is a simplified, one-size version of a pad concept that has been around for many years in slight variations. The Zero Pad’s plush surface material and thickness gives drummers another pad offering that has minimal rebound as compared to a traditional gum rubber pad — making the player focus, fine tune and strengthen their sticking mechanics and technique. The Vater version is single-sided, measures 11 inches in diameter and is quiet in volume due to the nature of the pad material. Covering the back side of the wood base is a thin layer of soft rubber to prevent slipping when placed on a surface, and can also be used in a snare stand.
