12" Drum Practice Pad, Silicone — Medium Rebound and Controlled Volume for Speed, Power and Precision, Classic Logo, 2-YEAR WARRANTY

It seems excellent. Not to bouncy, not to loose. Not to quiet, not to loud. It is not the quietest pad, but that's why I bought it. With the softer pad from Meinl (6 inch marshmallow) it's almost to quiet. But now I have both the 12 inch Thomas Lang and the 6 inch marshmallow for different kinds of practice. In fact, the 6 inch pad rests nicely on top of the 12" pad so I can play both at the same time. Works perfectly this way, and the 6" with the foam bottom barely moves around at all whilst playing.

Overall very good pad designed to last with normal use and care and a good value at $49. Depending on the drumstick used of course, slightly less bounce than a 12” Real Feel practice pad but with a noticeably “harder feel”. The bounce and feel may be compared to a tightly highly pitched concert snare drum; so, if you’re seeking after a lower pitch tom feel this is not it, unless you ingeniously drape it with a foam mouse pad for versatility and lower volume. Round tip drum sticks provide a somewhat “bouncier and softer” response, particularly with Vic Firth’s lighter and shorter (15”+ length) 7A Round Tip Drumstick that can be considered to develop finger control, sensitivity and lightness; nylon drum sticks provide a similar response but to a lesser degree. It’s relatively quiet but its volume should not be compared to the literally mute sound of a foam type pad like Flexx or Prologix’s Blue Lightning, Black Extreme Resistance or even Red Storm, but the creative use of a towel or mouse pad may help lower the volume. The mere physics of its circumference (12”) does exhibit a different tone than its smaller counterpart 6” portable version. Rim shots and the use of various drum stick attack angles on different parts of the pad, even with the methodical use of various dynamics, whether the pad is used on a snare stand (with a tightly firm or looser basket adjustment), a soft (like a bed mattress) or very hard surface (thick marble or cement) can provide a variety of textures, pitches and tone for a more interesting experience. It’s a good pad to develop the feel for the “Push and Pull” technique without unnecessarily exerting excessive fatigue on various hand and finger tendons, muscles and nerve that other resistance pads may potentially cause when pushing the limits that could subsequently lead to injury. Black color helps hide silicone wear, discoloring with age and black painted wood base can easily be repainted black when it becomes worn if desired. Very stable, does not move on a service. Meinl should have used some foam underneath the pad for additional versatility of use, as many other pads provide.

SO AWESOME! Was a gift and its silent, very reboundy and just awesome. GET IT

Don’t confuse this pad like I did with the Marshmallow pad. It is made of gum rubber which is harder than the Marshmallow pad.

After about 6 years of abusing my Evans real feel practice pad it finally started to come apart, so I decided to give this one a try and I do not regret doing so. It has a much fuller feel to it and in my opinion sounds better when you hit it than the real feel practice pad. The only down side that I can think of is that it is a little louder then the Evans real feel but it's not too much of a difference. I highly recommend.

Quality product however rebound too responsive for normal feel

This pad is quiet, mobile, and durible. Has great rebound and bounce. Looks really cool and markings don't wear off. Mounts to any cymbal stand, and is great to practice anything from rudiments, to songs, to warm ups. Also great for a stress reliever, and entertainment. Overall a great pad!

Awesome little portable pad. Great sound, not that loud, and has a high rebound. Similar rebound to the evans real feel pad.

Tout est dit dans le titre de mon commentaire.

Just received it but I love it already. I've been practicing a bit since yesterday and I love the feel. Very useful. As I don't have a drum kit at home (but can have access at work), this is a perfect tool to practice rudiments.

Pad absolument parfait! excellent touché, rebond, son, convient à mon avis à des batteurs confirmés au vu du petit diamètre de celui-ci, pour les débutants je conseillerais le modèle plus grand...

Also ich bin vollkommen zufrieden. Der Rebound ist für meinen Geschmack sehr gut, kommt einem normalen Snare-Fell sehr nah und ist somit zum leisen Üben bestens geeignet. Gerade wenn man filigrane Double-Stroke Rolls und sonstige Rudiments perfektionieren will, sollte der Rebound passen und das ist hier der Fall. Das Gummi auf der Unterseite sorgt für guten Halt, wenn man es auf irgendeine Fläche legt und durch ein Gewinde in der Mitte lässt es sich auch auf einen Beckenständer schrauben. Das Ding ist natürlich in der 6 Zoll (ca. 15 cm) Ausführung recht klein (auf dem Bild mit Thomas Lang das kleinere der beiden Pads) aber für Trommelübungen wie Rudiments etc. muss es ja auch nicht größer sein. Im Gegenteil: Wer bei solchen Übungen mehr als 5 cm Spielfläche braucht, sollte dringend an seiner Technik arbeiten ;-) Es ist durch die geringe größe auch wesentlich praktischer z.B. für Reisen, weil es in jede Tasche/Rucksack passt. Das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis finde ich beim 6 Zoll Pad auch in Ordnung. Bei den 12 Zoll Pads zahle ich ja quasi 10-15€ mehr, für Gummi was ich nie benutze. Also auch wenn man mehrere Pads kaufen will, um TomToms zu simulieren, würde ich auch eher nur kleine Pads holen, das fördert dann auch die Treffsicherheit. Ich habe mich übrigens bewusst für das Thomas Lang Signature Pad entschieden, weil der Mann eine super Technik hat und ich dachte es färbt vielleicht ab... :P

Très bien correspond bien à la marque et la qualité
