About the DP-970
The Cherub DP-970 is the ultimate compact practice pad for drummers — whether you’re warming up before a gig, sharpening your rudiments, or quietly practicing late at night. With a full-size 12" surface that mimics the feel of an acoustic snare and built-in metronome and speaker, the DP-970 delivers a realistic, expressive drumming feel in a silent, portable, and versatile package. Thanks to its thoughtful, drummer-friendly features — from silent rubber foam surface to rechargeable battery and intuitive beat controls — it's the slam-dunk choice for drummers who want serious practice anywhere, anytime.
Ideal for home studios, apartments, dorm rooms, or on-the-go rehearsals, the DP-970 balances realism and convenience — giving you a satisfying, acoustic-like rebound while keeping noise levels down and letting you lock in groove, time, and consistency with precision.
Product Features
Authentic 12″ Snare-Drum Feel
The large 12-inch pad is made from special soft rubber foam, designed to closely mimic the rebound and feel of a real acoustic snare head — giving drummers a faithful, performance-like practice surface.
Noise-Controlled Design
Anti-vibration cotton on the bottom reduces resonance and impact sound, making this pad ideal for quiet practice in apartments, studios, or late-night sessions.
Built-In Metronome & Speaker
A powerful internal metronome helps you master tempo, rhythm patterns, and timing — perfect for rudiments, beat-keeping, or groove conditioning.
Multiple Practice Modes
Includes three built-in modes — counting mode, beat mode, and silent mode — accommodating beginners and seasoned drummers alike, from basic exercises to advanced rhythm training.
Private Practice Possible
Headphone jack enables silent, focused practice without disturbing others.
USB-Rechargeable Battery
Built-in rechargeable battery allows you to practice anywhere — no need for constant battery swap-outs.
Compact, Portable & Stable
Lightweight and compact, making it easy to carry in a gig bag or backpack. Non-slip base ensures it stays stable on any surface, whether on a desk, snare stand, or your lap.
