MEINL ANIKA Nilles Signature Split Tone Pad
The black pad has a standard tone and feel, while the red dots are higher pitched with more attack. The oval shape at the top consists of soft muted foam.
Take your favorite hand pattern or rudiment and play your dominant hand in the oval-shaped muted section with your weaker hand on either pad surface (black or red).
All your attention will go toward the hand creating the sound so you can iron out any issues.
Splitting your hands also enhances your foundational knowledge of rudiments and patterns, opening up new ways to play them.
