Whether you play a 4-, 5-, or 6-drum tenor configuration, you'll have all you need to make steady progress in the Ahead S-Hoop Chavez Tenor Practice Pad. This versatile practice tool provides a realistic feel on all its surfaces, from the pads to the durable, powder coated steel S-Hoop. It's got a soft, slip-resistant underside, as well as grip points for a snare stand, so you can use it sitting or standing. Sweetwater drummers are also sure to appreciate the Chavez Tenor Practice Pad's rear sound chambers, which give it enhanced tone and facilitate more accurate targeting.

Ahead S-Hoop Chavez Tenor Practice Pad Features:

  • Excellent practice surface for drummers with 4-, 5-, or 6-drum configurations
  • Responsive pads have sound chambers underneath for improved tone and targeting
  • Powder coated steel S-Hoop won't crack with exuberant use
  • No-slip rubber underside keeps the pad in place for seated practice
  • Built-in gripping points for a snare stand

What is Demo Gear?

At Sweetwater, we're so picky that what we call a "demo" is actually better than what most music retailers sell as "new" gear! Our gear hasn't endured hundreds of people a week plunking away at all the keyboards, fumbling through Stairway to Heaven on every guitar or playing with every fader and knob on a mixer or control surface.

What demo means to us is that we've had it out of the box, or maybe it was in a customer's hands for a few days and isn't "factory fresh" as a result. Every demo item we sell has Sweetwater's 2-year Total Confidence Coverage™ warranty, and has been tested and verified up to "new" specs by our factory-authorized technicians to make sure it's in perfect working order before we ship it to you.

When you buy a Demo item at Sweetwater, you get:
  • 2-year Total Confidence Coverage Warranty™!
  • Products inspected and tested by our factory-authorized techs, guaranteed to function like new (or better)!
  • FREE shipping on most items
  • Equipment that will MEET or EXCEED your expectations!

Rated 2/5

Fine... for beginners

Many of the features that are supposed to make this pad better than others end up hindering its usefulness to the intermediate/advanced player.
The way the rims angle in to protect the bearing edge would do well to teach young players not to play to close to the rims, but for more advanced scrapes and crossovers it becomes very easy for the stick to hit the angled surface and fly out of the player's hand.
This problem is exacerbated by the fact that the gum rubber kind of pulls the stick during fast scrapes, requiring much more energy to move the stick from drum to drum than one would need on real quads. Due to these things, motions that would work perfectly well on real drums result in the stick flying out of your hand, which is incredibly frustrating. Ultimately, the pad does a poor job of replicating the feeling of real drums.
