INTRODUCES JUNIOR DRUM
Now that excessive noise has been elevated from not so much an ‘environmental
nuisance’ to more of an ‘environmental crime’, drummers surely have much to thank
progressive, forward-thinking companies like Softapads for. Especially those who practise
at home and don’t want an eviction notice pinned to their front door by the local council.
For anyone unaware of the Softapads products, they are effectively rubberised
energy-absorption 'sandwiches' which are laid onto drum heads and cymbals, plus a
square section for a bass drum beater pad. These pads offer
impressive noise reduction levels of up to 90% when
used as full circular lay-on on drum head sections
and provide a true playing experience with
accurate stick rebound etc.

The new inexpensive Junior Drum Damper
Sets from Softapads are circular rings of
Softapads material (with an open centre)
which when laid on to the drum heads will
immediately cut overall kit volume down to
sensible levels, whilst allowing the
young drummer to play on the
actual drum head surfaces.
Semi-circular Softapad cymbal
sections are also included in the
Junior Practice Pad Sets, along with
a bass drum beater pad.

This entry level range of acoustics has been making some real headway over the past
couple of years or so since its introduction with a range of natural and coloured

But perhaps that dreadnought-sized body is a bit daunting
for you or, hey, maybe you just don’t like that style and
shape of guitar body... Fair enough, but we bet you won’t
be able to resist these curvy cuties!
The new Falcon F300 acoustic offers a parlour-esque size
body, as embraced by folk players in particular who like
to hear sweet acoustic accompaniment from smaller-bodied
instruments. Same price as the dreadnoughts above and
available in Natural or Sunburst finishes, the Falcon
F300N and F300SB retail at £84.99 each.

Equally manageable is the Falcon F200N steel strung Folk
guitar. Again, its student guitar format, i.e. a smaller, curved
body, narrow waist design, means it’s an easy instrument on
which to develop your playing skills. Available in Natural,
it costs £69.99 rrp.
And, for would-be younger guitarists who want a
guitar to suit their size, and have no discernible
gender issues, then there’s the Falcon 3/4 size
Classic Guitar. In... pink, okay? Wanna make something
of it? Fine, that’ll be £44.99 then, thank you.
