he Heavy Hitter Stockpad features a 3/16" thick gum rubber pad mounted to a 12" sturdy wooden base.This pad gives the player a more accurate feel of a snare drum or marching tenor/bass drum.It's the perfect size and weight to throw in a backpack for the drummer on the go.4 mil mylar laminates for the HH Stockpad are also available, giving the player more articulation and a more accurate feel of a plastic-headed drum.
Depending on the quality of their setup, a nicer practice pad for the snare would be a terrific gift, and only cost ~$30.
These are the pads I would recommend:
Durable, Reliable. What I use at home
Precise rebound for marching band or metal
Flagship practice pad. Beautiful feel/response, but $50 I/O $30

It's got a quiet and a loud side, it's roomy and sits on my snare nicely without much room to slide around. Its response is on the bouncy side, which I like. Mine has stood up to 2.5 years of consistent practice without showing any wear to speak of, though it does look a bit dirty now. I like the tone it generates- clear and higher pitched than other practice pads I've used.
On the downside, it's large, pretty heavy, and can't be mounted on a cymbal stand.
