Instrument and Equipment List

Sunday, November 27, 2022 by Candice Hill | Uncategorized

Recommended Equipment list:

Most of these links take you just one item. I always recommend checking with local businesses, like Explorer's Percussion and Meyer Music. They can order anything for you. Also, try doing a google search if you want to shop for different prices.

Upgrade your practice pad. I always recommend 12" pad and NOT the 6" for ease of use.

Vic Firth Double Sided 12" Practice Pad

Evans Real Feel 12" Practice Pad

Offworld Percussion Invader V3

BYOS Offworld Percussion Pad (this is the one I use in lessons)

MUSIC STAND This is pretty much a requirement. It's near impossible to put music in a good spot to read without one. The manhassett stands are great, but pricier. I have included a cheaper option that is better than the old "wire" stands.

Manhassett
