Drummers talked. We listened. We heard that other pads feel unnatural, are too bulky and too loud. Groovpad is the solution. Our patented design incorporates our love of the ‘groove’ and the look of 45 rpm vinyl records. Groovpad allows you to practice anywhere, just roll it and go !
“Groovpad has such great response. It’s compact and convenient. I bring it everywhere and now practice more than ever.””
“Groovpad is a quiet and awesome feeling practice pad. It’s so grippy it even sticks to the wall…that’s crazy !!””
“ Wavpad is a such a simple yet highly effective design for acoustic isolation. I noticed rumble reduction and sonic clarity immediately!”
“Gigpad rocks! I like to lean my guitar against walls, sofas and amps…It’s the rock n roll way!
I know it’ll stay put and pretty on a Gigpad.”
Vibration & Rumble Reduction. Acoustic Decoupling.
My love and appreciation for music came through my father. He grew up in England during World War II. He often told me of how during times of intense stress, like when the ‘Doodle Bugs’ were ominously flying overhead to the terrifying wail of air raid sirens.
My dad and his family would take shelter under the dinner table. Their intense fear was kept at bay by telling stories and singing songs for hours and hours…until the dangers finally subsided.
In our current time of Covid-19 stress and the unknowns for the future, music is once again the thing that keeps us soothed and engaged and maybe just a little less fearful.
Whether learning how to play an instrument for the first time, honing your skills to that next level or just to listen…music will embrace us and keep us comforted.
This holds true during challenging times and joyful times…this holds true at all times.
So play on and stay strong!
Cheers, Tom
We at Gigpad Music are musicians first and foremost!
It’s what started it all and drives our pursuit for ways to create and improve things for hard working musicians.
Ever since we were kids learning how to play our instruments by listening to great music, there was always a 45 record and adapter around. We’d put it on the record player and listen til the grooves wore out!
Our first product- The Gigpad Leaning Guitar Rest was inspired by the 45 record adapter. Gigpad is a great portable aid to help guitarists on small stages lean guitars against amps etc. with anti-slip and body bottom protection. The 45 adapter shape is perfect for lifting the weight off your guitar bottom and strap peg.
It doesn’t stop there! The 45 adapter shape continues to be awesome for us. It’s also excellent for lessening unwanted vibrations and nasty rumble when placed under a speaker. Resulting in ‘uncolored’ sound.. the way it was meant to be heard.
You’ll also notice an aesthetic tribute to record grooves and the 45 adapter in Groovpad- our patented practice pad for drummers.
Our products are ‘innovation inspired’. The result of extensive testing and R&D consulting with the working musicians we consult. With over 30 plus years experience as a professional musician, our founder Tom Lewis knows the real world challenges of working musicians. The last thing musicians need is an unreliable, cheaply made off-shore product, designed solely to serve the interests of a board room’s bottom line.
We design and manufacture innovative and cost-effective, premium-quality M.I. products that meet the demands of hard working musicians everywhere. Unique and built to last, Gigpad Music accessories are the embodiment of innovation inspired.
Let us inspire you!

We are all about efficiency. Gigpad is a quicker and more efficient alternative to traditional guitar stands. Especially handy where there is very little room- like tiny stages or practice rooms. Just toss a Gigpad in front of your amp, put your guitar on it and lean it against your amp and that’s it! No stands to trip over or tangle cables on. Gigpad also adds padding in your case during travel. With Gigpad’s cool retro 45 adapter look, instantly you’ve become the coolest person in the band!
Traditional pads are too cumbersome and most have an unnatural bounce. They use a bulky plastic or metal base. This does nothing but limit portability and bump up manufacturing costs. These costs gets offset by the use of a cheaper rubber, resulting in unrealistic feel. Groovpad is made with 100% premium quality, proprietary rubber. No plastic. No bulk.

Anti-slip. Peg Saver. Keep your Bottom Beautiful.
GIGPAD is a new and rebellious alternative to traditional guitar stands.
The iconic 45 adapter look is from a time when rock ‘n roll was new and rebellious.
Designed for leaning your guitar against your amp with anti-slip TLC. You’ll enjoy quick setups and tear downs and protect your guitar on stage and also in the case while transporting.
Like a leaning ladder- the physics of gravity, friction and torque will help to keep your guitar in place.
Durable and moisture resistant, Gigpad is made with the same iSkin PU foam that’s used in military vehicles.
GigPad is great for tight spaces, where traditional guitar stands just get in the way.
Protects your instrument’s body bottom, strap peg and output jack cable from floor contact damage.
Also try using under your amp or a mic stand. The reduction in vibration will clean up the tone!
Tested Straight. Great Value.
]]>Groovpad 5A drumsticks are made with solid Canadian Hickory. We’ve hand tested and rolled each and every pair for straightness and strength. Some with minor blemishes, these sticks are a great value!

We at Gigpad Music are musicians first and foremost! Our goal is to make better products for musicians.
Our products are the result of extensive testing and R&D carried out with real world musicians just like us.
We design and manufacture innovative and cost-effective, premium-quality M.I. Industry (Music Instrument Industry) products that meet the demands of hard working musicians everywhere. Unique and built to last, Gigpad Music accessories are the embodiment of ‘Innovation Inspired’.
The last thing musicians need is unreliable, cheaply made off-shore products, designed solely to serve the interests of a board room’s bottom line. We know the importance of being able to rely on good gear.
Hello!
I’m Tom Lewis, the founder and main idea guy behind Gigpad Music.
Ever since I was a kid learning how to play bass, I’d be absorbed in great music. Although sometimes I didn’t realize it at the time (disco anyone?) Paul McCartney soon led to Geddy Lee, who soon led to Jaco, whose bombastic, sometimes musically irreverent outbursts then made me appreciate punk. This exposed me to an even wider variety of all types of music. This was, without a doubt the best way to become a well rounded musician.
Throughout these musical explorations, one thing remained: 45 vinyl records were always laying around. I’d put one on the record player and listen ’til the grooves wore out!
Gigpad Music’s first product- The Gigpad Leaning Guitar Rest- was inspired by the 45 record adapter. Gigpad is a great portable aid to help guitarists on small stages lean guitars against amps etc. with anti-slip and body bottom protection. The 45 adapter shape is perfect for lifting the weight off your guitar bottom and strap peg.
It doesn’t stop there! The 45 adapter shape continues to be awesome for us. It’s also excellent for lessening unwanted vibrations and nasty rumble when placed under a speaker. Resulting in ‘uncolored’ sound.. the way it was meant to be heard.
You’ll also notice an aesthetic tribute to record grooves and the 45 adapter in Groovpad- our patented practice pad for drummers.
I truly hope our innovative products will inspire you!
Yours in music,
Tom Lewis

Groovpad is the result of meticulous consultation with some of the finest drummers on the planet. Drummers working with stars like Kelly Clarkson, Smashmouth, Ringo Starr, Tom Cochrane and Big Wreck … and more!
Ease of travel: Groovpad fits easily in your stick bag and carry on.
Convenience: Practice anywhere, anytime the opportunity presents itself (backstage, dressing rooms, hotel rooms etc.) This feature was top of the ‘wish list’ of what was important to these in demand drummers. A clack- clack bulky practice pad simply wouldn’t cut it.
It’s now way easier for you to practice at home, in your bedroom or in your apartment or office without having the noise police out in full force!
Groovpad. Rock star and Librarian approved 😎👍
The Shore durometer (hardness or softness) of our premium grade rubber was fine tuned to replicate the feel of an actual snare drum head. This in turn allows you to develop the fine hand motor skills required to build technique and apply it to a whole drum kit.
Practicing rudiments on a Groovpad will lead to increased speed, accuracy and finesse on a full kit.
The right feel gets you results.
The uniquely flexible design allows for maximum portability: Just roll it up, toss into your stick bag or suitcase and you’re good to go!
Groovpad’s incredible grip was engineered for use on a multitude of surfaces with slip free convenience. It also works great as a mute on top of an acoustic drum.
Drummers talked. We listened. We heard that other pads feel unnatural, are too bulky and too loud. Groovpad is the solution. Our patented design incorporates our love of the ‘groove’ and the look of 45 rpm vinyl records. Groovpad allows you to practice anywhere, just roll it and go !
About time …
Hey there! I’m Tom Lewis, the founder and main ideas guy behind Gigpad Music.
We at Gigpad Music are musicians first and foremost. Our goal is to make innovative and inspired, top quality MI products that will last.
We test and develop our products in the field: at the wide variety of gigs and studios we work at. We find out what’s needed, what works and what doesn’t, from real world experience. We don’t hurry products out to market before getting them right.
Throughout the years, I’ve been fortunate to be a first call bassist for many recording acts. In becoming a professional I learned that reliability, quality and integrity was crucial to maintaining success. The same holds true for Gigpad Music.
During my formative years studying everyone from McCartney and Jaco, to Squire, Jamerson and Flea, 45 vinyl records were always laying around the house.
As a kind of tribute to those days, our first few products- Gigpad leaning guitar rest, Wavpad acoustic isolation pads and Groovpad practice pads, are all about the ‘45’ record and adapter.
We truly hope you’ll check out these innovative products and that they’ll inspire you.
Please visit often as we continue the journey!
Musically yours,
Tom Lewis
