  • Works well
Style: Cymbal
Nice to have my cymbals in their original location, retains enough original sound to be pleasant to play. Smaller hit area on the cymbal requires a bit more stick control, which is good for working on technique.

  • love it....
Style: Bass
So, this is my first official product review on amazon... I think this thing is awesome. we live in a 2 br apt. This works as advertised. Reduces the loudness/feeling of the "thump" from the bass drum pretty significantly without compromising the "sound" of the thump. Don't get me wrong, the bass drum is still felt and heard and is still pretty loud... just at a fairly reduced level. If i were sitting in the living room, the drumset is in an adjacent bedroom. When played, its felt and heard, but I can still watch tv... turned up mind you... to my ears, the sound coming from the bass drum still sounds, well, like a bass drum... waaayyyy better sound reproduction than any drum mute for the snare, toms, and especially the cymbals when practiced/played together. 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... ... show more

  • Kills the sound- and the rebound
Style: Drum-10 Inch
I placed this on the 10” snare of my Pearl Compact Traveler kit to use for late night practice. It definitely kills the sound- you can barely hear the snares in the next room. And despite the claim that it doesn’t affect the rebound, it just about kills it. In a way, that can be a benefit for practicing as it helps you learn to control your sticking and rolls without relying on the rebound from the head, but it does mean that buzz rolls are essentially impossible. If they made this from a denser neoprene that was half as thick, it might be able to provide good rebound along with good muffling. ... show more

  • Decent
Style: Bass
Does muffle sound a good bit. Way too expensive though for just this and it can wear down pretty quickly.

  • Love it when it stays together
Style: Bass
I’ve bought several of these because they’re pretty affordable. Dampens the bass so your neighbors aren’t so unhappy with you. Keeps the feel of the pedal. My biggest problem with this is the screws don’t tighten well and get lost. It also can only be tightened and loosened with a drum key. After some use, the pad starts to come away from the foam and you have to use glue for plastic to put it back together. Also, you need to be careful that you don’t lose the caps on the end that protect the hoop. ... show more

  • Mutes your ride cymbal completely. Durable, rubbery.
Style: Ride-20 Inch
The media could not be loaded. I bought this Evans SoundOff mute pad for my 20” Zildjian medium ride. I was hoping to muffle my kit enough to be able to play without disturbing my family and neighbors. I bought a full set of the drum and cymbal mutes, and overall I am pleased with my purchase. The 20” ride mute is made out of a rubbery material that maintains good bounce. The rubber is about as thin as a mousepad and it seems like it will last a very long time. You can hit the pad or the cymbal for 2 different sounds/volumes. The bell, like the rest of the cymbal just sounds dead. I would almost say it’s just a hair too thick if anything, but not much. The fit is good and snug. I’m not sure if the pad around the bell is supposed to stick up a little or not. Maybe my cymbal is a little big, or maybe the mute is a little small? I also feel like this pad forces you to pay attention to your sticking and timing more. With everything muffled there is no noise covering up sloppy playing. This could be a good practice tool for more reasons than just the low volume. Hope you found this review helpful! ... show more
