Abstract
A drum pad has a knitted material that is strechable and has a top surface to be beaten by a stick and a rear surface opposite to the top surface, a resin member that is strechable and thinner than the knitted material and that is capable of being thermally fused and bonded to the knitted material, and a rubber. The drum pad is formed of a first layer portion, a second layer portion, and a body portion. The first layer portion is formed in a region of the knitted material including the top surface thereof but not including the rear surface. The body portion is formed of the rubber. The second layer portion is formed in a remaining region of the knitted material other than the first layer portion and formed between the body portion and the first layer portion.
