Two Buddy Rich Practice Pads from HQ Percussion

HQ Percussion Products has introduced two officially-licensed RealFeel Buddy Rich Practice Pads.

The Crest "Collector's" Model (RF-BR-CREST, U.S. Retail List $56.95) is in the shape of Buddy's famous front bass drum head crest and sports vintage Marine Pearl drum covering under the exclusive RealFeel natural gum rubber playing surface. The non-slip material on the bottom exposes the trademarked "BR" logo.

The Octagon "Player's" Model (RF-BR-8GM, U.S. Retail List $46.95) features the trademarked "BR" logo inlaid into the exclusive RealFeel natural gum rubber playing surface and includes an 8mm threaded insert on the bottom, so the pad can be mounted on a professional cymbal stand or on the RealFeel Pad Stand (RF-STD).

Cathy Rich, Buddy's daughter, stated "RealFeel is known the world over as the leader in professional practice pads and my Dad was known as the "World's Greatest Drummer", so it made sense for us to come together on this project, with the ultimate hope that these pads will inspire many drummers to greatness of their own".

The RealFeel Buddy Rich Practice Pads are available now at your favorite drum shop or music store.
