Works well. Quiet. Good feel.
I would recommend this pad. It’s quiet. Putting a towel under it when playing on a hard surface helps. The rubber is softer, so it’s closer to a real snare. It’s threaded on the bottom in case you want to mount it. It travels well, although it’s been pulled out of my bag a few times by the TSA. They said it looked “organic” in the xray? It should last forever.

Finally bought one, so glad I did!
I’ve been drumming since I was 8 years old. With a busy life, it’s not always easy to get time to go play my full drum kit. I finally decided to order one of these to keep in the car with a pair of stick for when I get the urge to tap out some rhythms! So glad I did. It’s my travel drum buddy. It’s very nicely crafted, made in USA. As someone who uses Evans drums heads, I had no question this would be a quality product. Get yourself one!

Great Practice Pad for Aspiring Drummers
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.

not all pads are created equal
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.

En si el de ruido del 1 al 10 dirÃa que de ruido hay un 3 o 4Realmente es silencioso, y la calidad de los materiales se sienten muy bien, tal cuál la marca Evans, es portátil por su tamaño y lo puedes llevar a todos lados, la baqueta rebota bien, el ancho de la goma es el indicado y te va durar muchos años, en cuanto a la relación del precio es muy buena, siento que es una buena opción, también hay algunas otras marcas y los pads son un poco más pequeños y pueden estar un poco más caros que esté artÃculoPero ya va en gustos de cada uno, este puede ser tu pad favorito!
