A foot pad for a drum pedal comprising a generally compressible material for reducing shock to a user's foot during drumming, the foot pad being adapted for attachment to a drum pedal, said foot pad comprising:

• at least one protrusion for locating at least partially in an intermediate portion of said pedal;
• said protrusion having a smooth continuous surface for contact with the user's foot to reduce localized pressure to said foot;
• wherein, said user, feels said protrusion with said foot during drumming with the pedal and experiences an optimal delivery of force in response to applying a drumming force at a particular location on said protrusion, and thereby learns a sweet spot on the protrusion for improved consistency and endurance during drumming.
