The Meinl Stick & Brush 12" practice pad is a general use pad with a medium-soft rubber surface that works in all applications of drumming with any type of drumstick. The rubber surface provides a consistent rebound with a quiet response, and the base plate will fit into a snare stand or mount onto any 8mm thread, such as a cymbal stand or boom arm. The larger size allows drummers to practice simulating the full-sized playing surface of a drum.
