  • Nice quality, works very well
Style: 12" - 1 Sided
Well built and works well. I like the rebound of the pad and it stays put well, especially on a smooth surface where it actually forms a bit of suction that holds it in place even better. Nice design.

  • not all pads are created equal
Style: 7" - 1 Sided
The first thing you need to consider when choosing a drum practice pad, is the actual material that the pad is being made of. Not all practice pads are created equal. Traditionally, the better-quality pads are made from natural, or "gum" rubber, whereas the cheaper pads are synthetic. Furthermore, since many, if not most, of the pads are being manufactured overseas, you may encounter pads that are currently being marketed as "natural", which are in fact, "synthetic". The natural gum rubber pads provide more rebound, or "bounce", than the synthetic pads do, but they are not as quiet as the synthetic pads. The synthetic pads provide a noticeable reduction in tone, but do not provide anywhere near the rebound properties of a natural gum rubber pad. There are synthetic pads available on Amazon which provide 95% noise reduction! That is about as quiet of a pad as you are going to get. The natural gum rubber pad, such as the Evans line of products we are reviewing today, sacrifices some of the noise reduction for rebound, but it is still within the acceptable range, perhaps somewhere around 85% cancellation of the principal tone. Traditionally, natural gum rubber pads were easy to spot, since they always came in the same, pale amber color. Now, before you get your bowels in an uproar, please be aware that the only drummers who actually require a natural gum rubber pad, are those in marching band and drum corps, who play short rolls and rudiments. This type of drumming calls for as much rebound as you can possibly get. Yes, you may play short rolls and rudiments on a synthetic rubber pad, but you are going to have to press down harder on the sticks, in order to achieve the desired effect. And you can only press harder for so long before your hands are simply going to give out. We tried a dozen or so of the most popular makes, models and sizes of drum practice pads available, and we feel that, dollar for dollar, this particular model, provides overall, the best value for the money. That being said, if you are planning on mounting this unit to a standard 8mm threaded cymbal stand, make sure that the Masonite pad base comes equipped with a female, threaded 8mm tee nut fastener. Also, you may discover that when mounting a practice pad on a cymbal stand, the upper tubes of the stand might rattle with the vibrations, which can be a little annoying. When using a pad on a conventional snare drum stand with a basket, the pad is being supported underneath on all three sides, hence the eight-sided design of the pad base. However, be sure to check your snare drum stand basket beforehand, to determine if the basket will actually accommodate a six- or seven-inch pad. Most baskets will accept a 12" diameter pad, but not all snare baskets will accept the smaller diameter pads. We sincerely hope that the drummer will continue to make music for a lifetime. ... show more

  • Durable drum pad
Style: 7" - 1 Sided
Just starting to learn the drums and my teacher told me this is a great pad to practice on. Coupled with the Vic Firth SDS1 General drumsticks and you can get started. Octagon shape to remind beginners to come in at angles to ensure proper grip (match grip) on the sticks.

  • Great Practice Pad for Aspiring Drummers
Style: 7" - 1 Sided
The Evans RealFeel Drum Practice Pad has been a valuable addition to my drumming practice routine. This 7-inch practice pad offers several benefits that cater to drummers of all skill levels. Here's why I think it's worthy of a four-star review: 1. Realistic Feel: True to its name, the RealFeel pad lives up to its promise of a "real" drumming experience. The gum rubber surface feels remarkably close to the rebound of an actual drumhead. This makes it an excellent choice for honing drumming technique and building muscle memory. 2. Single-Sided Design: The single-sided design of the practice pad is practical and functional. It provides a consistent playing surface, allowing me to focus on my strokes without having to adjust to different textures. 3. Stand Mountable: The fact that this practice pad is stand mountable is a game-changer. It's compatible with standard snare drum stands, which means you can set it up at the perfect height and angle for comfortable and effective practice. 4. Durability: I've found the Evans RealFeel pad to be quite durable. It can withstand hours of practice without showing significant signs of wear and tear. This durability ensures that it will be a long-lasting addition to my drumming setup. 5. Reduced Volume: If you're concerned about noise levels while practicing, this practice pad offers a quieter alternative to an acoustic drum. It's perfect for late-night or apartment practice sessions when you need to keep the noise down. 6. Excellent for Rudiments: Whether you're working on basic rudiments or more complex drumming patterns, this practice pad provides the responsiveness needed for precise practice and improvement. 7. Portable: Its compact size and lightweight design make it highly portable. It's easy to carry to rehearsals or gigs when you want to warm up or practice on the go. In conclusion, the Evans RealFeel Drum Practice Pad is an excellent tool for drummers looking to improve their skills and technique. Its realistic feel, durability, and stand-mountable design set it apart as a valuable practice accessory. While I've had a positive experience with this pad, I'm giving it four stars instead of five because I believe there's always room for improvement, and there might be even more exceptional practice pads on the market. Nonetheless, it's a solid choice for drummers seeking a quality practice pad to enhance their drumming abilities. ... show more

  • Great for practice
Style: 7" - 1 Sided
The media could not be loaded. I’m no drumming expert but I’ve been wanting a practice pad for a while. Now I can finally practice my double strokes. This thing feels and sounds great. I should’ve gotten this years ago.

  • A good practice drum pad
Style: 12" - 2 Sided
I am interested in learning drums but I don't have space for a full kit nor did I want the noise from a real drum while I am in the beginning stages of learning. The pad is good for learning beginning rudiments and stick control and is much cheaper than a real drum. This pad is reported to give you a real drum head feel and the bundle also included a pair of sticks. I like the feel and the 12" size gives you enough space without being cramped. There is noise from the hits of the sticks but it is not super loud. Others in the room might still find it annoying if you are reading or doing other quiet things. May even bother some if they are watching TV but it could be a lot worse. I generally play it on my knees while I watch TV. My cats are critics and want to play with the sticks while I practice! I guess you can't please everybody.. ... show more
