“A practice pad that compliments your unique life style and taste."

Whether you are traveling, camping, going to the beach or warming up before a gig, the Flo Pilot is there to support! It's rugged, sophisticated, built to last and ready to go anywhere you are.

What‘s Included?
Each Flo Pilot practice pad comes with a classic jaw-string bag to keep it safe. The bag features a unique piece of artwork drawn/created by Reuben Spyker (myself). You will also get a print of the strap adjustment instructions which were inspired by Leonardo DaVincis notes.

The Classic Olive Green Look

The top edge has been weathered slightly to give it a partial warn in look. It will compliment future scratches as it travels around with you taking on the personality of your practice routine. It's not damage, it's personality! To ensure the finish lasts as long as possible, it's been sprayed with laquor to protect both the raw edge and the paint. 

The Base

The base is made from solid Birch wood. The small lines sometimes visible on the edge can be mistaken for plywood. Don't worry, it's not made from plywood! They are a result of the CNC routering process. Each one is sanded by hand and it doesn't get rid of every router mark. 

The Strap Info (Sizes)

The strap is adjustable to fit most people. The smallest it will go is 12” (30 cm) around. It can be adjusted to fit up to 23” (58cm) around. You can measure your leg with a piece of string and then hold it up to any measuring device see your size. The strap is made of thick veg tan leather that is dyed with an antique brown finish. All the rivets and hardware such as the buckle and clip are made of brass. The roller buckle allows for a quick release of the strap when you need to pack up quickly.

The Playing Surface

Each Flo Pilot has a natural gum rubber playing surface with a durometer rating of 40. This duro rating is fantistic for practicing on with drumsticks! It's just the right ballance of firmness and give ensuring both a comfortable and familier feel. When it's new the natural gum rubber can sometimes feel a bit grippy and even make a few squeeking sounds when being played.
