EvansRealFeel - Drum Practice Pad Stand - Drum Pad Stand - Drummer Practice Pad Stand - Fits Single Sided Drum Pads with 8mm Thread Insert

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.

Back in the 1980s I did some drum corps drumming, but haven't done much since. I decided, on a whim, to pick up a pair of sticks and a practice pad and see if I had any chops left, so I grabbed this Evans pad, and I'm glad I did. The size is nice, you can't put it in your pocket, but you can throw it in a backpack or other small bag. Having two sides is great. The light grey side is softer rubber so more bounce, the dark side feels more like the tight kevlar heads of my DCI days, so that's the only one I use. Bonus to that is that the soft rubber side grabs better to the surface it's on, keeping it in place better. That said, the dark side is considerably louder than the light, and someone doing any serious drumming on the black side is going to be heard throughout the house, or wherever, unless behind closed doors. The light side is actually very quiet. I've been drumming pretty heavily on it since I got it a few weeks ago, and it still looks like new, so the durability seems great. Happy with my Evans pad, now if I can just get my chops back.

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.

My son absolutely loves this and it has helped him grow and improve as a drummer I would 100% recommend this for anyone that wants to improve their drum skills without all the noise. Very sturdy design and pretty good value for your money

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.
