Phone Book Snare Practice Pad

Make a snare drum practice pad for free out of a phone book!  I used clear packing tape to

tape the phone book shut on all four sides.  Then I made a square "strike zone" out of

masking tape. Next I covered the whole thing with more clear tape.  I laid this on the arm of

my couch to practice. It wanted to slide around so I used two tape loops to stick a piece of 36

grit sandpaper to the back. Now it stays put.
