Evans RealFeel - Drum Practice Pad - Drum Pad - Drummer Practice Pad - Gum Rubber & Neoprene, 2 Sided, 6 Inch,Grey

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.

I brought this pad and a few sticks with me camping. Wasn't loud enough to bother anyone, and I could practice without needing anything that took up a ton of space. Nice bounce, quiet sound, and seems like good quality.

My daughter needed these for her drum class, and as someone who knows absolutely nothing about band or drums, I was a little worried about whether they would last. I’m happy to report they are surprisingly durable! They have held up great throughout her class despite all the practice. If you're a 'non-music parent' looking for a reliable pair for your child, these are a safe bet!

Nice. Holds up to my 12 year old percussionist.

I got 6" double sided to practice at hotel and other travel. It fits perfect on most hotel ice buckets. slightly too small for knee but you can. The 2nd side is cork I think and I don't drum on it the wood is I think particle board, nothing fancy, not finished and prob doesn't like water. I think I'd get bigger size if not travel and getting the two sided version not a huge benefit. rebound is excellent. and it does stay put. I think this is best option for travel and hotel. go bigger if not travelling.

It is a very good pad for practice, with minimal noise, and give you best sensation, but the main issue is the size. It is very very very small. In my opinion it cannot be a practice pad, it can be used as a demo. Except if you want to use it while travelling, so it can help

I always use this pad for warm up and practice rudiments, this is the best choice to have real feel in snare and hi hats.

Got this as a gift for a friend in college and they loved this.

Le "Real Feel" porte bien son nom, c'est le pad avec le meilleur toucher que j'ai pu tester. Ses 2 faces permettent de travailler plus les poignets ou le rebond. Vraiment silencieux, on peut très bien travailler sa technique tout en regardant un film sans avoir à monter le volume à fond. Assez petit, donc pratique pour emporter partout et pour travailler la précision. Agrippe à peu près n'importe quel type de surface même en tapant fort, tant que c'est relativement plat. Rien à redire, merci Evans ! :) Livré rapidement et bien emballé.

ni muy silencio ni ruidoso, el tamaño es perfecto para transportar, cada cara responde diferente, lo que ayuda a practicar con diferentes vaquetas, generando sonidos acorde a las características de estas últimas, y definitivamente invertir igual en unas vaquetas de calidad.

It is convenient for practice. Good product.

É bon

Klein und handlich gut verarbeitet. Habe eins immer auf der Couch liegen und kann so spontan meine Rhythmusübung machen. Ich finde das Teil sehr sehr geil und handlich. Und so kann ich auch meine Rhythmusübung nachts um eins machen, ohne dass es jemand stört.
