Review: Works well - Put this on an 18 inch bass drum. You can still hear the bass but the chest-pounding THUD has been taken off. Works very well. Review: love it.... - So, this is my first official product review on desertcart... I think this thing is awesome. we live in a 2 br apt. This works as advertised. Reduces the loudness/feeling of the "thump" from the bass drum pretty significantly without compromising the "sound" of the thump. Don't get me wrong, the bass drum is still felt and heard and is still pretty loud... just at a fairly reduced level. If i were sitting in the living room, the drumset is in an adjacent bedroom. When played, its felt and heard, but I can still watch tv... turned up mind you... to my ears, the sound coming from the bass drum still sounds, well, like a bass drum... waaayyyy better sound reproduction than any drum mute for the snare, toms, and especially the cymbals when practiced/played together. As for longevity... my 9 yr old is the one that uses it on her Premier drumset (which is super awesome and I'll eventually review that set bought from here). Now she obviously does not have have a lead foot, so I'm pretty sure this will stand up for a long time. Now when I play her set, I consciously try not to smash the bass drum pedal... if a heavy footed person were to use this, I can see this product not lasting that long... for my daughter, it works great. I'm sure the neighbors appreciate her using it than her not using one. As for the striking of the pad with the beater feeling... you definitely know your hitting something other than the drum head. Doesn't bother me... doesn't bother my daughter. .. we don't really notice at all... she could still play fairly fast with a single pedal... can she play faster without the pad? Possibly... haven't realll tried to test that out... shes not playing death metal or anything like that, so not a huge issue here, anyways. will it bother some... I'm sure there are purist who will not like the feel of it... it all comes down to which of the lesser of the 2 evils one can live with. We think it's an easy trade off... Installation is easy and straight forward. Unpacking, installing, to playing took probably at the most 5 min... adjusting it to absolute perfect placement took maybe another couple minutes... simple and easy. .. how can you not like that... If this thing broke down, I wouldn't hesitate to buy it again if I still lived in an apt. So again, reduces overall sound without compromising the actual "sound". My daughter can still easily be felt /heard laying down the backbeat with my other daughter playing along with her bass... which means the bass guitar amp volume can be turned down as well. There are other bass drum mutes that work equally well if not better... however, my daughter's bass drum is only 16" in diameter... this product is the only player in town... unless one modifies a different drum mute for a 16 " tom and modifies it to for a 16" bass drum. I love this thing... originally my daughter was using a roland electronic drumset with mesh heads at my apt and an acoustic set at her mom's. Obvioulsy the roland was waaaaaayyyyyy quieter. As much as i loved the electronic kit, When she started telling her music teacher that she preferred the electronic set "feel", I said enough of that and bought the Premier APK microbop set to keep her on the "acoustic" path. And this product at least helps to try to quiet it down... So buy it if you have a light foot for your or for the kids... if you're heavy footed... this may not last... for us, it works great... YMMV... have a great day... ## Features - Bass Drum Mute Pad: SoundOff drum mute pads provide a 95 volume reduction, fitting easily over your drumheads to reduce volume while providing excellent stick response, allowing you to practice quietly without drastically altering feel - Durable and Easy to Use: The textured bass drum mute is adjustable and sits between the kick and bass drum; Constructed from durable rubber and durable enough for the heaviest hitters, it can stand up to frequent practicing - Keep Your Skills Sharp: Our drum mutes are highly effective at reducing the volume of your drum set and durable enough for the heaviest hitters, with sturdy construction that can withstand hours of frequent practicing - Superior Design: Shop our whole collection of products including drumheads, drum pads, drum and cymbal mutes, drum keys, stands, dampers and more - Evans: Our drumheads and percussion accessories are designed to help drummers play at the highest level and made to fit the needs of every style of drummer ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B001CG51XC | | Best Sellers Rank | #1,796 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #12 in Practice Pads & Devices | | Body Material | Bass Wood | | Brand | Evans | | Brand Name | Evans | | Color | Black | | Customer Reviews | 3.8 out of 5 stars 334 Reviews | | Finish Type | Painted | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00019954954048 | | Included Components | Bass Drum | | Item Dimensions | 15.7 x 15.7 x 15.7 inches | | Item Highlight | Evans SoundOff mutes reduce drum volume, preserve realistic feel, protect practice time and fit acoustic kits easily. | | Item Type Name | Bass Mute | | Item Weight | 1.1 pounds | | Item dimensions L x W x H | 15.7 x 15.7 x 15.7 inches | | Manufacturer | D'Addario &Co.

No bounce, so you develop a good double stroke roll. I use them as a practice pad, to develop my rolls and such. **Q: Will this stop drums from ringing from ambient voices and heavy bass from speakers?** A: no this is strictly for silent playing. so no one can hear you. keeping peace in the house haha **Q: I'd like to order one of these for my son's snare drum. confused on sizing. do i measure from rim to rim or do i measure the actual drum head?** A: I just ordered to fit the drum head. 14" snare would take a 14" pad. It fits the inside dimentions of the drum head. They just lay on top of the drum. They work quite well. To does change the feel of the drum head though a little. **Q: can these work for guitar hero and rock band? If so then which size drum pad do get for the right size?** A: I’d say no. They need the rim of the drum to hold them in place. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works well *by G***E on January 18, 2023* Put this on an 18 inch bass drum.

At about the 2 hrs mark this thing broke. And it snapped right where it mounts to the bass drum and since I didn’t notice it right away, it scratched up my 22in Pearl Clear Beats bass drum hoop. I play with my normal style of playing. Which is not soft hitting nor hard hitting. I definitely would not recommend this product.
