PRODUCTION

THE STORY OF OUR RUBBER

Prior to 1986, Dauz had been manufacturing his drum pads in various forms. When the Rogers drum company went out of business, Dauz found the their version of Ludwig’s Billy Gladstone practice pad existing mold and began making pads with the parts it produced and researching chemists capable of producing the best possible rubber surface for drummers.

As fate would have it, Dauz eventually identified a small rubber manufacturer in Southern California that was owned and operated by a chemist named Norman Stingley. Two decades earlier, as an ambitious young experimenter in 1964, Stingley had compressed a synthetic rubber material under 3,500 pounds of pressure to create a small bouncing ball with unprecedented resilience.

Stingley’s invention became known as the Super Ball, and was picked up by Wham-O Manufacturing Co. The Super Ball joined the Wham-O family of products including the Hula Hoop and Frisbee.

Dauz rubber has been sourced from the Stingley family ever since. The tweaking and experimenting never stops, and the Dauz pads continue to be hailed as the best electronic drum pads in the world.
