The Heavy Hitter Slim Pad by Vic Firth features a "slim" 1/8" gum rubber pad on a 12" sturdy wooden base. The extra thin 1/8" gum rubber pad gives the player a more accurate feel of a high tensioned marching snare. It's the perfect size and weight to throw in a backpack for the drummer on the go.
14 mil Mylar laminates for the Slim Pad are also available, giving the player maximum articulation and a more similar feel to a Kevlar drumhead.

Slim pad
This pad is great considering the price. It's less bouncy than thicker gum-rubber pads, and has a decently articulate sound. The laminate made for it is a nice addition.

It's easy to carry around, pretty quiet unless you put a laminate on it, and will serve its duties very well. I've had one for three years and I still use it everyday. Minus the fact it has no rim, it's great!
