Abstract
A muscle control development system for developing selected hand, wrist and arm muscles of a user includes first and second rimless pads formed of a resilient, elastically deformable material. The first pad is a pancake pad having a relatively thin profile and having a thickness to diameter ratio of about 0.04. The pancake pad is configured to absorb a relatively small amount of force exerted thereon by a drumstick and to exhibit a relatively large rebound therefrom. The second pad is a biscuit pad having a larger thickness profile than the pancake pad, and having a thickness to diameter ratio in a range of about 0.20 to about 0.30. The biscuit pad is configured to absorb a relatively larger amount of force exerted thereon than the pancake pad and to exhibit a lesser rebound therefrom. The system includes a pea pad exerciser formed of the resilient material, and configured for placement between the user's fingers and thumb for exercising selected muscles. The system further includes a drum rudiment chart depicting a plurality of drum practice exercises.
