Description:

The flagship of the OffWorld Percussion fleet is the Invader™ V3 Series pad.  Originally catering to the needs of the marching world, the Invader™ V3 represents the apex of rehearsal tools.

Among the features that make the Invader™ so desirable is our signature DarkMatter™ playing surface.  This advanced polymer is a custom material that comes as close to replicating the feel of playing on a Kevlar style marching head as any that have come before.

The bottom surface also sports DarkMatter™ which displays an amazing non-slip reaction when placed on various surfaces. This surface is so non-slip in fact that it may be used at extreme angles and on surfaces like no other pad of its kind. Additionally, the bottom surface can also be used as a more common drum pad. When the executing of rim shots on the rim produces a level of volume beyond what is appropriate in certain practice situations, you can just flip it over.

Another key feature is our patented Rim available in Black and Maroon Red.  Nearly unbreakable, and designed to inflict far less damage to sticks than metal rims, the Invader™ V3 rims produce great shots at a volume and tone that allow for clear distinction between the shot and the amazingly articulate DarkMatter™ surface.

At 13.75″ inches in diameter, the V3™ fits comfortably onto a 14″ inch drum while offering as close to actual snare surface area as possible.  At 5 pounds, there is enough weight and heft to provide a solid, stable foundation beneath your sticks, offering a truly satisfying experience for players of all levels.

When 90% of your playing time is spent on practice pads, having a rehearsal analog that replicates the drum on which you perform is of enormous importance and benefit.  By shrinking the gap between rehearsal and performance, the Invader™ series has redefined the practice pad from accessory to an indispensable tool to improve your craft.

Features:

• DarkMatter Playing Surface
• 360-Degree RIM Element
• Feels Just Like a Marching Snare
• Very Articulate Sound at All Dynamics
• Fits all Snare Stands
