- Drum Practice Pad & Carrying Case - 12 Inches - Silicone - Wooden Base with Real Drum Feel - Practice Quietly - Sticks and Stand NOT INCLUDED (Gray)

My son loves it!

When I purchase a drum pad ( and I have almost every one that comes out on the market), I am looking for two qualities: great FEEL and musical SOUND (and obviously quiet). This pad has these qualities and more in spades! You can play a well-built solid wooden pad, meaning you can draw out interesting musical sounds from rim shots to dead sticking. And what's even better, I got to choose my favorite color. One thing that needs clarification (for me) is this two-sided description. Mine is silicone blue on one side and a soft mat on the other. Maybe I misread the description, or they make another 2 sided pad. I cannot play on BOTH sides of this pad though. It appears to be a non-skid pad. If you strike this black side, it dimples - not so great. But no stars off for my misunderstanding. Buy this pad; comes with a perfect fitting carrying case. I only know of one other pad in my collection that comes this way. Kudos to Tromme Percussion for building a pad for real drummers.

product is durable and looks like it does online. Note to seller: do not picture with the item what you are not selling....point blank. Also, the pull on the zipper of the case came off in my daughter's hand when she tried to open it for the first time. We had to replace the pull several times before we could get to the pad.

Mediocre quality at best. Wood was already dinged and logo was falling off. Even though they show it with a stand in every single picture, no stand comes with it. My recommendation would be to buy a different one and save your money. I will amend this depending on the customer service offered with these issues.Update:Giving more stars due to decent customer service. I would still recommend updating the image so it pictures exactly what will be sent. And even with the logo coming off, I have beat this thing to death in the past month. Not a single mark has shown up on the pad or the sticks. Quiet enough not to wake the kids sleeping in the next room over.

This is a great practice pad for percussionists. The silicone pad has just the right bounce, and just the right volume; not too quiet or too loud. The size is perfect, and the included carrying case is an added bonus. The only caution: this is a one-sided practice pad; the back side is a non-slip foam that is not meant to be struck with a drum stick. When giving this to a young percussionist, be sure they are told this, since some of their friends will have double sided practice pads.

Saved us a fortune renting a snare drum for our sons music class. He is able to practice at home with this and carry it around with ease. The school provides a real drum in class. It is very responsive like a real drum. If you are renting stop and get one of these. You will save money.

This pad is described as "Two-Sided Silicone" in the product listing title. Unfortunately, this is not true. It is a SINGLE SIDED silicone pad, with what looks to be a soft, rubbery protective pad on the back, for sitting it on something and not scratching it. The silicone side appears to be well made, and responds very well to drumming. But I wouldn't even consider playing on the opposite side. It looks, to me, like it would probably disintegrate, after minutes of being struck by drum sticks. I will keep this pad for what it is...a decent SINGLE SIDED silicone practice pad. I am giving three stars, for the deception.

Just started my 7yo with from lessons. He needed a way to practice, I needed to maintain my sanity. This drum pad is perfect for both! Super portable so he can practice anywhere. His teacher was super impressed with it as well! Highly recommended.

Cheap rubber not a good bounce
