Customers like the sound quality, quality and fit of the musical instruments. For example, they mention that it muffles around 90% of the sound, it adjusts really well to your comfort and that it works well. Some appreciate the feel, and practice. That said, opinions are mixed on value and bounce.
AI-generated from the text of customer reviews
Customers like the sound quality of the musical instruments. They mention that the level of sound reduction is good for the drums, moderate for cymbals, and less for the snare. It muffles around 90% of the sound, making the noise much softer and quieter. It also gives a more lush, deep sound with each stroke. It brings the volume to a comfortable level and makes it sound solid. It dramatically reduces volume while still sounding enough like a hi-hat not to distract. The sound control is amazing, and you can accent harder with less sound.

These drum pads saved my sanity. I also purchased the crash and hi-hat pads, and with their powers combined, I am now able to fully enjoy the never-ending beats (now muted) coming from my basement.
So far they seem to be holding up extremely well! Highly recommended for anyone else looking for salvation.
I didn’t realize how deafening acoustic drums can be in a small room, so I was looking at different dampening products. Figured I’d go with Evans, seems to be the most popular brand out there for heads and such.
I only got one for the snare to start so I could see how it sounds. It was a good choice! I like the sound better with the chain down though because it seems to overwhelm the sound of the drum.
This pad makes the snare surprisingly quieter, brings the volume to a comfortable level and makes it sound solid.
I don’t have a 14” tom so wasn’t able to test it on that yet. But I’m about to buy the whole set, so guess I’ll find out soon. I’m curious about how the cymbal pieces are going to sound.
So far I would definitely recommend!
One more weird thing to mention.. I love the smell of it! Like fresh rubber
Only downside for using it with a carried drum is that the extra weight makes a difference for walking or moving around with it on the drum.
For information: My bass drums are 18", 20", 22", and 24"; And this mute pad fits them all.
As for longevity... my 9 yr old is the one that uses it on her Premier drumset (which is super awesome and I'll eventually review that set bought from here). Now she obviously does not have have a lead foot, so I'm pretty sure this will stand up for a long time. Now when I play her set, I consciously try not to smash the bass drum pedal... if a heavy footed person were to use this, I can see this product not lasting that long... for my daughter, it works great. I'm sure the neighbors appreciate her using it than her not using one.
As for the striking of the pad with the beater feeling... you definitely know your hitting something other than the drum head. Doesn't bother me... doesn't bother my daughter. .. we don't really notice at all... she could still play fairly fast with a single pedal... can she play faster without the pad? Possibly... haven't realll tried to test that out... shes not playing death metal or anything like that, so not a huge issue here, anyways. will it bother some... I'm sure there are purist who will not like the feel of it... it all comes down to which of the lesser of the 2 evils one can live with. We think it's an easy trade off...
Installation is easy and straight forward. Unpacking, installing, to playing took probably at the most 5 min... adjusting it to absolute perfect placement took maybe another couple minutes... simple and easy. .. how can you not like that...
If this thing broke down, I wouldn't hesitate to buy it again if I still lived in an apt.
So again, reduces overall sound without compromising the actual "sound". My daughter can still easily be felt /heard laying down the backbeat with my other daughter playing along with her bass... which means the bass guitar amp volume can be turned down as well. There are other bass drum mutes that work equally well if not better... however, my daughter's bass drum is only 16" in diameter... this product is the only player in town... unless one modifies a different drum mute for a 16 " tom and modifies it to for a 16" bass drum.
I love this thing... originally my daughter was using a roland electronic drumset with mesh heads at my apt and an acoustic set at her mom's. Obvioulsy the roland was waaaaaayyyyyy quieter. As much as i loved the electronic kit, When she started telling her music teacher that she preferred the electronic set "feel", I said enough of that and bought the Premier APK microbop set to keep her on the "acoustic" path. And this product at least helps to try to quiet it down...
So buy it if you have a light foot for your or for the kids... if you're heavy footed... this may not last... for us, it works great... YMMV... have a great day...
