Offworld Percussion Invader V3 System Blue/Scojo
Listen up, Blue Devils fans! The vastly popular Invader V3 practice pad line has evolved with the System Blue Scojo Signature Invader V3! Just like the original Invader pad, this one's got a DarkMatter playing surface that is extremely articulate and feels remarkably similar to a marching snare.
Positioned at 12 o'clock on the surface is something special: a Silver and Black Carbon Fiber Laminate oval that gives you even more sound and articulation than DarkMatter. The 360-degree RIM element (this time in BD Cobalt Blue) is still in full swing on the Scojo pad, equipped with a silver 'racing' stripe that just looks killer. As a final added touch, this pad is equipped with a unique wedge logo badge.
The bottom is equipped with a non-slip neoprene surface so you can play on it virtually anywhere.
Invader V3 Series
The flagship of the OffWorld Percussion fleet is the Invader™ V3 Series pad. Originally catering to the needs of the marching world, the Invader™ V3 represents the apex of rehearsal tools.
Among the features that make the Invader™ so desirable is our signature DarkMatter™ playing surface. This advanced polymer is a custom material that comes as close to replicating the feel of playing on a Kevlar style marching head as any that have come before. Videos
Another key feature is our patented Rim available in Black, Red, Cobalt Blue or Radioactive Green. Nearly unbreakable, and designed to inflict far less damage to sticks than metal rims, the Invader™ V3 rims produce great shots at a volume and tone that allow for clear distinction between the shot and the amazingly articulate DarkMatter™ surface.
When the executing of rim shots on the rim produces a level of volume beyond what is appropriate in certain practice situations, you can just flip it over to drum on the bottom surface which is now (as of 2023) a non-slip, 1/4″ thick, medium density, recycled black rubber.
At 13.75″ inches in diameter, the V3™ fits comfortably onto a 14″ inch drum while offering as close to actual snare surface area as possible. At 5.5 pounds, there is enough weight and heft to provide a solid, stable foundation beneath your sticks, offering a truly satisfying experience for players of all levels.
When 90% of your playing time is spent on practice pads, having a rehearsal analog that replicates the drum on which you perform is of enormous importance and benefit. By shrinking the gap between rehearsal and performance, the Invader™ series has redefined the practice pad from accessory to an indispensable tool to improve your craft.
The INVADER™ V3GR combines Offworld Percussion’s signature Invader™ Rim technology with the more established feel of authentic gum rubber. The Invader™ V3GR allows for a further augmented rebound favored by more kit-based and traditional drummers, without sacrificing proper technique.
The INVADER™ V3 VML™ is available with a Black, Gunmetal, Blue Chameleon (a color morphing feature where the colors visually shift from purple to blue to green depending on the angle), 3D Blue, Red or White Vinyl/Mylar Laminate surfacing.
The VML™ covers the full span of a 12″ diameter playing surface, maximizing volume and articulation across the entire pad.
The Mylar base, which provides all the performance functionality, is a robust 14mm thick. This material is, for all intents and purposes, nearly indestructible under normal playing conditions. By contrast, the Vinyl top is actually a fairly thin material, originally designed for use as an auto-wrap, and is meant to serve as “paint”, giving the VML™ its visual appeal.
