12 Inch Practice Drum Pad with Stand and Sticks, Beginner Snare Drum Pad with Drumsticks and Carrying Bag, Double Sided Silent Drum Pad (Black)

This is a parent review sprinkled with some practical advice and eye-opening stats about the probability of long-term interest in drumming. First, the bottom line product review: this is a quality practice pad and is perfect for anyone who has started taking drum lessons, PLUS it comes with some bonus gear that is worth paying a little bit more for. My teenage son didn't care for the lightweight drumsticks at all, but he really likes everything else and enjoys practicing with this kit. He especially likes having an adjustable stand. I'm satisfied with the purchase and do recommend. This next part is more of a bonus for parents. As with any new hobby a child tries, sometimes it just isn't a great fit. Our music instructor said that all of the early concepts can be practiced outside of weekly lessons without this kind of practice gear. Having heard this, I delayed purchasing this practice set for my son. Nice to have does not equal must have. Ready for some eye-opening general stats about the probabilty that your new drummer will continue in their new interest? Gemini reports that available music industry data and multiple music teacher associations paint a very consistent picture of the "dropout rate"...statistically, only about 10% to 15% of people who start the drums will stick with it for more than two years. If they make it past the 24-month mark, their chances of drumming for life increase exponentially. I found this to be information worth sharing.

I like that it comes with a storage bag and it is easy to put it together and to take it apart. It doesn’t take much space. You could take it on the go easily.

So easy to put together. Good bargain.

Grandson uses it for band parctice

Assembles in minutes. The pad itself has enough bounce to get a feel for the basic snare rudiments. Made for a nice gift to my 8yo grandson, since it has sticks and all. It’s compact enough so that he keeps it set up in his room and practices most days. With the door closed you can barely hear it. I started out on pie tins and hat boxes; this is a darn sight better than that.

It’s really good! I was a beginner when I bought this and it was a really good startup pad! I still use it to this day, because it’s broken in, so my drum sticks work better on it

Bought this for my husband. Does what it supposed to i guess . Comes with stand and 2 drum sticks . I just thought it would be a little more like a drum than it is . When you hit it with the drum sticks about all the sound it makes is a real quiet ckicking - pecking sound . If you are looking for a piece to practice on that similar to drums you may not want to purchase this . My husband uses it quiet often . If i had gotten to try it before i bought it , i wouldnt have bought it .

Easy set up, has a great modern look & comes w drum sticks
