Description

Meinl MSTP 12″ Split Tone Pad by Anika Nilles is a premium, multi-surface practice pad developed in collaboration with world-renowned drummer and educator Anika Nilles. Engineered for enhanced control, sound differentiation, and advanced technical development, this pad features three distinct playing zones to help drummers build dynamics, stick control, and accuracy in a highly focused and musical way.

Materials and Build Quality

The 12″ Split Tone Pad is constructed from high-quality materials to deliver realistic rebound and long-term durability. The main central surface features medium-density rubber for standard practice with a natural stick feel, ideal for rudiments and groove work. On the lower half, a harder, red rubber surface simulates rimshots and stick-on-stick articulation, helping players refine their attack. The upper third contains a softer, grey rubber surface for quiet practice or ghost note training, making it ideal for dynamics and touch control.

With a solid wooden base and non-slip foam backing, the MSTP can be placed on tabletops, snare stands, or laps without sliding. The pad’s three-zone layout makes it visually easy to navigate during complex drills, helping to isolate hand technique and improve independence. Its 12″ size fits snugly on most standard snare drums, making it a convenient and portable tool for daily use.

Performance and Use Case

Whether you’re practicing rudiments, orchestral snare pieces, or modern hybrid drumming concepts, this pad is designed to meet the needs of serious students and professionals alike. It encourages thoughtful, targeted practice and is ideal for warm-ups, lesson work, or silent rehearsal in low-volume environments.
