Evans RF12D RealFeel - Drum Practice Pad - Drum Pad - Drummer Practice Pad - Gum Rubber & Neoprene, 2 Sided, 12 Inch, Gray | RealFeel practice pads provide realistic stick response, quiet practice, durable construction, and consistent rebound.

As someone who was completely new to drumming, I spent quite a while reading reviews before deciding which practice pad to buy. This one kept coming up as a solid recommendation, so I decided to give it a go. I'm really pleased with the quality. It feels well made, has a reassuring weight to it so it doesn't slide around while you're practising, and it's clearly built to last. One of the features I've appreciated most is the two different playing surfaces. They each have a different feel and rebound, which has been useful for practising different sticking techniques and gradually building up control and wrist strength. As a beginner, it's been nice to have that bit of variety without needing to buy another pad. It's also quiet enough to use indoors, which means I can get some practice in without disturbing everyone else in the house. Overall, I think it's excellent value for money. Even as a complete beginner, I could tell this was a quality product, and it's given me everything I need to practice the basics. I'd have no hesitation recommending it to anyone starting out, and I'd happily buy it again.

I’ve been a drummer for 40 years but this is my first practice pad. I’ve been using it for about six weeks now and I can’t overstate how useful this has been in improving my sticking technique. I’ve been doing 20 minutes or so every couple of days, mainly just single and double stroke rolls. The pad has an excellent natural feel and bounce, very like a real snare drum. I’ve been placing it on a cushion or folded towel to reduce noise which works well. Definitely a highly recommended product.

The gum rubber side (grey) has a very nice feel, it gives a lot of rebound similar to that of a kit snare drum where as the black harder side has a marching snare-like feel to it. It is excellent for performing all 40 of the standard rudiments and is quite enough to be used in places such as a bedroom it creates little noise even with hard strokes. It can also be used on any surface as the reverse side acts as a grip to stop it moving, while the actual pad absorbs all hits so the surface being played on wont take any damage. Overall an excellent product I would recommend it to any drummer as an essential pad above any on the market currently.

One side has a bounce feel and the other a slightly different feel. This means you can practice rudiments on one side and build up your stamina on the other. i think it really helps to have two surfaces like this. Nothing replaces a drum but this is a really good tool for development.

Excellent quality. Very responsive to all drumstick types and playing styles. Portable. Sits well on snare drum stand. Perfect practice partner without annoying the neighbours!! Recommend.

Being a drummer in a punk band I play fast with quick (fairly simple) fills etc. However as I am self taught and just tended to copy the drummers of bands I like, I never actually learnt proper rudiments. After talking to a mate I decided it was time I started practising some more "technical" routines. I can honestly say after owning it for a week or so I have learnt more than in the last year. It responds very realistically and doesn't annoy those in the house when you practise. Highly recommended for use every evening, I can definitely tell the difference already!

Now this is special! Double-sided, as the publicity states and there are two very nicely contrasted hard and soft surfaces. The soft side has already brought about household peace by being as silent as I imagine a practise pad can be. Harder side produces slightly more noise, but still good. Solidly built. Great stick responsiveness too, that's important. Recommended for sure. Quick delivery, with tracking details to boot.

Thoroughly delighted with this pad! Although anything will struggle to beat Remo's 8" Ambassador head practice pad, the RealFeel is incredibly quiet and feels more real, the fuller the stroke. I was getting frustrated with the tuneable mesh head pads, that have a tiny window where they actually operate perfectly, and even then every strike of the pad brings a different pitch note. It feels in time but it sounded wrong. Plus they didn't stay in tune for long. The RealFeel gives your wrists a much better workout than the overly bouncy mesh heads. The conditions in which the RealFeel doesn't shine, is in cold temperatures, so if you leave it in the shed overnight in winter, your morning session on the gum surface may not have the bounce you expect. Feels like the stick's getting buried in the head. Don't leave it in the shed overnight.

Kullanımı ve hissiyatı gayet iyi ,teşekkürler

I bought the Evans RealFeel drum practice pad, and it’s been fantastic for practicing without making a ton of noise. The 12-inch size is perfect, and the dual-sided design is really useful—one side has a more realistic rebound, while the other offers a slightly firmer feel for endurance and control work. The gum rubber and neoprene surfaces feel great to play on, and the rebound is very natural. It helps build technique without stressing your hands or wrists. I also appreciate how sturdy it is—it stays put while playing and feels durable enough to last a long time. It’s perfect for home practice, warming up before rehearsals, or even throwing in a bag to take on the go. Quiet enough for apartment use, but still gives that satisfying response drummers want. If you’re a drummer looking for a reliable, high-quality practice pad, this one is a total win. I’m really happy with it!
