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

Highly recommend to purchase if you need to cut down on volume. They have great rebound and still have some tone in them. However for the snare drum particularly it’s still particularly loud compared to the toms, of course it’s a snare drum after all, but it’s to be noted. That being said, combine these mute pads with a pair of hot rods and you’re pretty much drumming in silence!

Really Work! Mutes the sound enough to allow practice in the house These mutes are a life saver for any wife or mother of a drummer or a drummer who needs to drum in closer quarters than those around them would like. My husband was drumming one room away and it was still impossible to watch tv or hold a conversation so we looked online for mutes. This set included all we needed except a cymbal mute and was a very affordable price so we ordered it and hoped for the best. GREAT decision! These mutes allow enough of the sound to come through that the drummer still gets actual practice but dulls the sounds enough that those in the next room can watch tv or hold a conversation. My kids were running around plugging their ears and complaining it was too loud every time my husband practiced and now he has been able to drum every night without them noticing enough to care. So worth the small investment! It probably cuts down on wear and tear to the actual drum head during practice too which means changing drum heads less often which means saving money! I highly recommend these for any drummers or their loved ones!

These drum mutes are great for too many reasons to write down all of them. So, you should probably just buy them. But in case you are bored or like reading reviews, here are some of those reasons. They fit each drum head very well and mute just enough. You can still hear the tone underneath, but won't make people in your house want to plot your death while you are shredding killer beats on your kit. They are well made and thick. I expect these will withstand all the metal blasts or jazz spaz-outs you can throw at them for many years. As with any mute, you will not get the same drum head feel as butt naked drums, but these do give a good bounce--enough to do earth-shattering rolls and bouncing beats. If you have a standard kit (12,13,14,16in) this set has you covered; except cymbal mutes, those are sold in another set. If you do not have a standard kit you could throw away your old one and buy a new one that is cooler. Or, you could measure your drums and see if these pads will fit. Or, you could just buy any number of the single Soundoff mutes available on amazon. Other cool things about these mute: they are black (everyone knows black is the coolest color), they are reversable (although both sides are black so you're kinda stuck there), you could turn them into mouse pads if you have to pawn your drums (please don't pawn your drums though), and you will save your hearing during practice and avoid looking like a mega dork wearing ear plugs (however if you play without mutes by all means wear ear plugs--being in a band will make you look cool, asking "what?" all the time will make you look like a moron). Don't stop the rock

I LOVE these. They sound perfect and look great. The only thing that keeps it from getting 5 stars is that the snare pad is a little too big. It should be 14” but it is 14 1/2”. I sent an email to support and hopefully they will send me a replacement. If they do, I’ll change this to 5 stars. I’d say to order these because they work perfectly. Hopefully you will get a set that fits on all the heads.

New, out of the box, these pads smell like new tires. And the smell is strong. But, within a few days, the scent has faded to the point where it is barely noticeable. The practice pads fit with my Gretsch Catalina Club 4-piece kit and Sabian AAX cymbals (hi-hats, ride and crash) just fine. Gives enough sound-dampening so as not to disturb others in the house when I'm practicing. The pads don't interfere with the normal feel of the kick drum or the sticks, and I get a realistic rebound on both. Installation of the pads only took a few minutes. Make sure you have a drum key to install the adjustable kick drum bracket. The only bad part is that I now have to come up with new excuses explaining why I'm not prepared for rehearsals. Quite happy with the quality and price of this practice pad kit.

I recently took up the drums, and I wanted to spare my neighbors the racquet of my learning curve. I had been just draping hand towels over my snare and toms, but they would slip or fall off while I was playing so I decided to upgrade to proper mute pads for my drums. And I'm glad I did! These pads are excellent quality, thick and durable, which I would expect from the Evans brand. They mute the noise of my drums to a decent level so I can practice without disturbing my neighbors or damaging my own hearing. I highly recommend this set if you're in the market for some mute pads for your drum set!

Great drum mute pads. They block a lot of noise, and are durable. I recommend.

Worked well to muffle sounds, but the smell was too strong for us. Ended up paying more the the Evans db one replacement drum heads.
