Evans Soundoff Drum Mute Pads - Full Box Pad Set - Mutes Pack - 4 Tom/Snares - Great for Silencing Acoustic Kits to Practice - Rock - 4-Pack

The media could not be loaded. Sounds muffled but they work and don't hurt my ears when my three year old is drumming away to Metallica or blink 182

I ordered these after my kids received a drum set for Christmas. After three straight days of non-stop drumming, I wasn't sure I could take it anymore - not to say the kids weren't surprisingly great, but still the constant thump-thump-thumping in my head was almost unbearable.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.

Makes having a kid learning to play the drums tolerable. The mute the drums and still provide some bounce for the sticks.

Remember mouse pads? That’s basically what these are. Totally deadens the drums, but does not feel like a drumhead or behave like a drumhead with sticks. You can hear a faint difference in tone on the toms, and on the snare if you throw off your snares. Weirdly, with the snares on, the drum sounds just as loud as wthout the mute on it. Very little difference if any. Wanted a full set of aquarian superpads, but they are super-high-priced. Got this whole set for less than the price of one aquarian pad. Did not get the mute for the kick, but based on these, may just put some thick foam between the beater and the head.

It dampened the sound just enough

These are perfect for reducing drum noise, I can finally play without disturbing the neighborhood. Would buy again.

Regarding sound, you may as well just put a pillow on each head. Zero tone and can't differentiate the sound from each drum. The feel and rebound is in the ballpark, but when they say SoundOff they mean it. This is not music. Practice only
