10" diameter pad. Air channel design gives real bass drum feel. 3 large spurs keep the GBDP secure on carpeted surfaces.
This pad is the best bass practice pad I have played. I have had it about 8 months and use it around 40 minutes daily. It has held up well so far. The rubber pad to protect the clamp on the pedal has come lose, but is an easy fix. The feel is comparable to an actual kick drum and the sound made when hit is fairly quiet. I do kick fairly hard and used it in an apartment all summer with no complaints. It almost always stays put on the carpet while using it. Overall, it is a simple product that works. I recommend it for both warming up before shows and for practicing.

This pad is the best I have ever played for BD practice. Realistic feel...well...enough to do the job and more. Sound is pretty well muffled so neighbors dont get on your case! Ideal for apartment practice. Hope you like it as much as I have.

Very happy with this pad. Set up was a breeze, carpet spikes do a good job of keeping it in place. Responds well and worked perfect with a double pedal. Well worth the money.

This pad is pretty cool. It is small enough for you to be able to put it in a luggage bag etc. I'm giving it 3 stars because of this. The pad doesn't feel like a bass drum. The Pad is really squishy which means that when you hit it with the beater, the beater hits it 2-3 times very quickly. That and I only got two spurs instead of three.

I purchased this in order to be able to practice my double bass without having to be loud and actually have a bass drum in front of me. I have to say that as far as volume the pad is respectably quiet. The pad really seems to stay in place as well, and it appears to be manufactured well. The biggest problem i have with it is the fact that i can't actually attach my pedals to it. I play with Tama Iron Cobra Power Glide double pedals. The problem is that the part of the fixture you hook your pedals to is to close to the pad, when i hook it up my beaters are way to close. On my bass drum i slide my pedals as far forward as possible and make sure my beaters are flat against the head exactly the way you are suppose to. In order to get them to do the same on the practice pad, without adjusting them, I had actually just set my pedals in front of the fixture. This is something that Gibraltar definitely should fix. Its just a small problem but a very important one, because if you practice with your beaters close and then get on your drum set and they are far away, your practice will be worthless. And since i am not able to actually clamp my pedals to the pad if i start to play really fast double base or really hard the fixture may move. As of right now i am not very fast and i don't play very hard, but if you play metal you better be cautious when purchasing this pad.
