The EQ Pad is an adjustable bass drum muffler that enables control over bass drum attack and sustain. A hinged damping pad bounces off the head at attack, allowing mimimal resonance. The EQ Pad is a highly efficient bass drum muffler that attaches to the bottom of the bass drum shell with Velcro. The pad can be moved closer to either the batter head or the resonant head to decrease overtones and increase attack.
