AWESOME!

These mutes are super...Still retain good stick action and head feel but with a lot less noise...snare is not quite as "quiet" as the toms, but still excellent over "open" heads! My dog AND wife love them too!

mutes

the mutes for the toms seem to slide off a little too easy for me, for anybody who hits hard i suspect this will be the case. also the bass drum pads broke after about 5 times playing total. the bass drum pad consists of foam with 1 velcro spot to hold it onto the bass drum head and a rubber pad in the middle where the drum pedal beaters hit, i had only used double bass on this pad twice and the rubber center came unglued. the cymbal mutes are also a little unsatisfactory. they do not circle the bell, instead they sit on top, but they do not drape over the bell like they should. when you then hit the cymbal the only part of the pad touching the cymbal is the very end so all it does is sound horrible and make the sound die faster. i would recommend the solid rubber pads that are raised in the middle for toms and snare, this also improves accuracy. the clip on mute for the bass, and dymbal mutes that go over the bell and sit on the actual cymbal but do not cover the bell

    Poor quality. My second purchase. I hoped product quality would improve but it hasn't. In summary: 1. Velcro or sticker doesn't adhere to the mute, so mute keeps slipping off bass drum head. 2. The part of the mute where beater hits it gets a hole

  • fits perfectly snug with the rim

    The drum mutes are perfect. Thin enough to give you the same feel as the actual drumhead, but with 85% less volume. #sweepstakes.

    I had high hopes for this bass drum pad, but it started to fall apart very quickly. The Velcro dot that comes with it so the pad doesn't fall down ripped off almost right away. I used painters tape to hold it up. After just a month or so, the beater on the pedal had punched through the pad all the way through the top tougher layer and the soft backing.

  • They are perfect

    I have scaled down from a very large set to a smaller, club size and these mutes work perfectly.

    It's pretty good but should include something for the other drum head as well, if you have the drum tuned for an 808 type of low frequency boom this will only partially stop that from happening, if you play at night your drunken neighbors may still come knocking cocktail glass in hand to tell you it's too loud.
