The Ahead 6" Metronome Pad combines the typical features of a gum rubber practice pad and a metronome, with a few extra options thrown in. The gum rubber surface provides a nearly silent surface that closely emulates the feel of a drum head, allowing you to practice nearly anywhere. The metronome includes the ability to go from 30-250 BPM with 0-9 subdivisions per measure, and contains 9 separate duplet- and triplet-based rhythms so that the player can work on their subdivisions. As an added bonus, this pad also includes a stroke counter which will allow you to work on how fast you can play in a certain amount of time.
A large LCD screen on the front is easily readable, and glows in time with the metronome. A clock with alarm can be programmed into the metronome so that you don't lose track of time when practicing! On the underside an 8mm threaded insert allows you to put the pad on the top of most cymbal stands, while padded strips keep the pad silent on any surface.
Headphones (not included) can be plugged into the metronome for completely silent practicing. The metronome requires either three AAA batteries (included) or a DC 9-Volt Adapter (not included).
