Tromme Drum Practice Pad and Carrying Case , 12 Inch Silicone with Wooden Base and Real Drum Feel ,Sticks and Stand Not Included (Blue)

When I purchase a drum pad ( and I have almost every one that comes out on the market), I am looking for two qualities: great FEEL and musical SOUND (and obviously quiet). This pad has these qualities and more in spades! You can play a well-built solid wooden pad, meaning you can draw out interesting musical sounds from rim shots to dead sticking. And what's even better, I got to choose my favorite color. One thing that needs clarification (for me) is this two-sided description. Mine is silicone blue on one side and a soft mat on the other. Maybe I misread the description, or they make another 2 sided pad. I cannot play on BOTH sides of this pad though. It appears to be a non-skid pad. If you strike this black side, it dimples - not so great. But no stars off for my misunderstanding. Buy this pad; comes with a perfect fitting carrying case. I only know of one other pad in my collection that comes this way. Kudos to Tromme Percussion for building a pad for real drummers.

Saved us a fortune renting a snare drum for our sons music class. He is able to practice at home with this and carry it around with ease. The school provides a real drum in class. It is very responsive like a real drum. If you are renting stop and get one of these. You will save money.

I got this for my 6 year old, beginner drummer. Perfect for practicing strokes in places where noise would not be acceptable. Carrying case very handy. However, photo is a little deceiving because it shows stick and stand which is not included.

This pad is described as "Two-Sided Silicone" in the product listing title. Unfortunately, this is not true. It is a SINGLE SIDED silicone pad, with what looks to be a soft, rubbery protective pad on the back, for sitting it on something and not scratching it. The silicone side appears to be well made, and responds very well to drumming. But I wouldn't even consider playing on the opposite side. It looks, to me, like it would probably disintegrate, after minutes of being struck by drum sticks. I will keep this pad for what it is...a decent SINGLE SIDED silicone practice pad. I am giving three stars, for the deception.

Inexpensive, relatively quiet with good feel/action.

This practice pad is exactly what we wanted and needed. It came with a carrying case which makes it easy for my little drummer to practice anywhere!

Very nicely made pad. Has a lot of bounce. If bounce is something that you don’t want, this is not for you. Great product
