Historical Context and Positioning in the Range
Designed by Woodbrass to modernize the classic practice pad, the TP8-M combines a training surface with advanced timing tools. It stands as a versatile solution, designed for daily practice at home, in lessons, or backstage.
Who This Pad Is For
Ideal for drummers from beginner to advanced levels wishing to work on rudiments, consistency, and endurance. Useful across all styles-rock, jazz, metal, funk-whenever a solid tempo and even stroke are required.
Features and Innovations
Beyond a simple metronome, the TP8-M integrates a hit counter, timer, average tempo detection, and long-term memory. The clear display facilitates settings (40 to 208 bpm, accents, rhythmic figures), and the playback via the built-in speaker remains clear for effective practice.
Sound
The vocal metronome and internal click provide a clear audio reference, with a 0.5 W speaker sufficient for individual practice. The sensor response highlights stroke dynamics, making the study of attack control and consistency particularly intuitive.
