Softapads> 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. SJDP7 SOFTAPADS 3 PIECE JUNIOR DRUM PRACTICE PADS – £19.99 Pack Contents: 2 X DAMPER RINGS TO <strong>COVER</strong> 8” TOM & 8” SNARE 1 X 9.5” CYMBAL PAD 1 X BASS DRUM PAD 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. SJDP9 SOFTAPADS 5 PIECE JUNIOR DRUM PRACTICE PADS – £24.99 Pack Contents: 4 x DAMPER RINGS TO <strong>COVER</strong> 8” TOM, 10” TOM, 10” SNARE & 12” FLOOR TOM 1 x 10” CYMBAL PAD, 1 x BASS DRUM PAD. Keep the peace with Softapads!

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. l FL34PK £44.99rrp 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. 6
