up your drum kit, percussion set-up or studio with a really striking
addition to the world of electronic percussion. The Wernick Notepad
is a hand built electronic drum pad with a unique silicon rubber
playing surface. It fits neatly into standard drum hardware and

The heart of the Notepad is its patented ‘Wernick Percussion
Pad’ technology. The clever design makes the Notepad a highly
sensitive and playable instrument capable of translating all the
expression the musician puts in. It can be played with sticks
or hands and gives feel of acoustic playing without having to
appreciably alter your playing style. Thanks to their easy mounting
system, which fits standard drum hardware, Notepads can be set
up around an existing drum kit in the easiest playing position
for the musician involved. They can also be arranged and played
as a percussion palette style instrument. Either way the Notepads
silicon rubber playing surface and damping system ensures that
cross-talk is kept to a minimum and that the Notepad performs
perfectly every time.
The
engineering design of the Notepad gets around a lot of the problems
other manufacturers solve electronically. It also sets the Notepad
apart as the hardest wearing of any of its competitors. Deliberate
bad treatment on the road by a number of musicians has proved
beyond doubt that all its top quality components can stand up
to the hardest battering. Another great feature of the Notepad
is the range of day-glo and special custom colours. They can be
used to easily identify what each Notepad is triggering and really
add to the looks of any drum kit or percussion set-up.
Many professional drummers and percussionists have recognised
the Notepads qualities. Norman Hassan from UB-40 who’s used
the Notepad in the studio and on stage says; "I’ve
been playing electronic drums for most of my career and these
are the best I’ve ever tried". Other professional players
who’ve seen the advantages of the Notepad include Pablo
Cook (William Orbit/the Grid), Jet Black (Stranglers), Ted Duggan
(Banco de Gaia), Stuart Cable (Stereophonics), Mark Roberts (Neneh
Cherry/D'Ream/Massive Attack/DJ Rap) and Douglas Caskie (Geneva).
They all agree the flexibility and playability of the Notepad
is second to none. They also represent a wide range of musical
and playing styles reflecting the flexibility of the Notepad.
The
Notepad also provides music schools and drum tutors with an invaluable
teaching aid. A small system including Notepads, connectors and
a sound module can easily be taken anywhere and used with headphones
for silent, hassle free practice. The bright day-glo colours also
appeal to young children whose appreciation for percussion is
legendary.
The Notepad has been used with most of the percussion sound modules
capable of triggering drum pads currently available. Musicians
seeking to recreate the perfect individual sound for them can
use a sampler combined with a MIDI converter unit.
The Notepad provides a flexible way to get into electronic percussion
for the first time or add to your existing set-up. It’s
playability marks it out from other electronic drum pads and it’s
the ideal way to really expand the boundaries of your drumming.

the playing surface which sits on free floating suspension mounts

the PercPac on its frame. There’s also a locking XLR connector
there too ensuring that the plug can’t come loose even under

a new kind of musical tool for hand percussionists giving them the
opportunity to make great music with the tap of a finger.
