 "Awsome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" 2009-05-15

I really like this pad. It arrived promptly, and when they say "real feel" they mean it. It has 2 sides, so you can decide how YOU want to practice. It is kinda weighty but it is still a great pad. I love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 "Excellent feel, very well constructed" 2008-11-19
By A. GONZALEZ MEDINA (MONTERREY, NL Mexico)
This is an EXCELLENT practice pad. I got this size because the smaller sizes (other brand) were not available at the time, but let me tell you this is a perfect size for practicing.



The feel of both sides is great and pretty realistic (soft on one side, hard on the other). It's very quiet too. This HQ practice pad is NOT made of MDF or wood, it's made of some pretty strong resin, so it will last for years.



If you're looking for an excellent product (pro feel with excellent value), then get this pad.

This pad is HUGE... get the 6 inch one. It will weigh you down otherwise. You wouldn't believe how heavy the 12 inch pad is. Also extremely not portable. The 6 inch one is the perfect size.

Aside from that, the two different sides are awesome. One is silenced and easy to bounce on, and the other one is better for cleaning up your playing and is a little louder. I also like how it has no rim like my piece of junk old practice pad.

Get the 6 inch version of this and you won't be sorry.

 "Great Stay Put Drum Key" 2009-04-24
By John L. Padgett
Another great Evans product. This drum key is great whether in the stick bag or on mounted on a tension screw on the drum hoop. The key will not pop off no matter how hard you play. If you are tired of searching for your drum key you need the Evans Magnetic Drum Key!Evans Magnetic Drum Key

 "Good stand, questionable pad." 2008-09-24
By Christopher L. Canfield (Boston, MA)
I've used several practice pads over the years. This one I held onto for about 6 months before giving it away to someone on craigslist. The pad noise and feel were just so off as to be unusable.



The allure of a practice pad is drumming without annoying your neighbors. At this, the Remo practice pad fails spectacularly. The pad is really, really loud. The head is as loud as a regular drum with a cheap muffler on it. The rim hits are pretty loud too. And the stand drives this sound straight down to your downstairs neighbors. Most anything else you've been hitting our sticks against will be quieter than this, including books, chairs, mousepads, standard cheap rubber practice pads, etc.



In terms of size, 10" is barely a popcorn snare. This is significant because the edges stick up a great deal: far more than most drum sets I've used. In certain ways this is helpful to develop your targeting, but it also means that you're constantly whacking the edges and cursing instead of focusing on technique. Frankly, I found rim hits to be a constant annoyance.



The feel is hard to quantify, but all of the remo practice pads that I've used just "feel" close but off. It feels like someone stuffed a pillow as tightly as they could into a snare. The rebound style is good, but there is a deadness to it that just feels wrong. While it is helpful to have an adjustable drum head, it never quite gets right.



The stand, on the other hand, has been pretty solid and nice to have. I could see transitioning the stand into a real drum set, albeit holding something light.



Overall, the resounding loudness, weird rebound issues, and annoyingly large rim make it hard to recommend Remo's higher priced pads over traditional rubber ones. For basic paradiddles and other practicing in real-world circumstances, I'd recommend going with one of the many other available options.

 "nice sound and feel, good price" 2008-04-22
By Robin Lapre (tenn)
This practice pad was recommended to me by my son's drum instructor. It has a very nice feel (bounce) to it, and the sound is WAY better than listening to a snare drum all night. The price offered by Amazon for both the practice pad and the stand was very good (I believe about $45.00). In some stores, just the pad alone is about $32.00, and you'll definitely want the stand (any hi-hat stand will probably work). There are varying sizes and you will probably want the biggest size, which I believe is the 10 inch - just to give yourself a few different targets while practicing. Set up was extremely easy.

 "About what you'd expect for the cost" 2009-11-20
By Jet (USA)
I've bought these in bulk to house a custom product I sell, and I've had complaints from customers about the zipper getting stuck and the plastic clip for the shoulder strap breaking. I don't know how they'd work for cymbals but they obviously can't take much abuse.

 "Good entry level case" 2004-12-01
By Victoria Tarrani (Betwixt FL and CA, USA)
For the price you cannot beat this case, which can hold up to ten cymbals as large as 20".



It is well constructed, sufficiently so to support the heavy weight of a bag full of cymbals, and comes with a detachable strap and built-in carrying handles.



There are a few minuses, though. First, there are no dividers, so you will need to use cloth or plastic covers for each of your cymbals to protect them. Second, there is only a single compartment, which means that your smaller splash and your hi-hat cymbals are going to get mixed in with larger ride and crash cymbals.



If you are on a budget and don't have any cymbals larger than 20", this is a good first case that will protect your investment in cymbals if you use covers to compensate for the lack of dividers and pockets. Mine came with a Zildjian cymbal pack, but I needed a case for my 22" Avedis ride, so purchased the Zildjian Gadd Session Cymbal Bag (ASIN B0002D0FXM). Although that bag is over twice the cost of this one, it is one you should consider if your budget permits.
