Review: Brilliant! - The gum rubber side (grey) has a very nice feel, it gives a lot of rebound similar to that of a kit snare drum where as the black harder side has a marching snare-like feel to it. It is excellent for performing all 40 of the standard rudiments and is quite enough to be used in places such as a bedroom it creates little noise even with hard strokes. It can also be used on any surface as the reverse side acts as a grip to stop it moving, while the actual pad absorbs all hits so the surface being played on wont take any damage. Overall an excellent product I would recommend it to any drummer as an essential pad above any on the market currently. Review: Excellent practice pad - I’ve been a drummer for 40 years but this is my first practice pad. I’ve been using it for about six weeks now and I can’t overstate how useful this has been in improving my sticking technique. I’ve been doing 20 minutes or so every couple of days, mainly just single and double stroke rolls. The pad has an excellent natural feel and bounce, very like a real snare drum. I’ve been placing it on a cushion or folded towel to reduce noise which works well. Definitely a highly recommended product. ## Features - PRACTICE ANYTIME, ANYWHERE - Evans RealFeel Drum Practice Pad provides the best practice substitute to acoustic drums, so you can practice rudiments, paradiddles or just drum along to that song on the radio – without disturbing anyone.

I have mine on a TAMA cymbal arm on the outside of my kit so I can reach it from my desk but it could be placed to left of the Hi-hat for warming up silently behind the kit.Plus you can lift it off again and take it with you where ever you want to go.Def get it, you wont be disappointed. **Q: Whats the difference in the apprentice pad and the real feel? why is there such a cost difference?** A: The apprentice doesn't have such a heavy base. "It's cheaper price and slightly thinner rubber make it ideal for the student drummer."Rockem **Q: will this fit a DW500?** A: Can't see a reason why not **Q: Could an 8 year old boy use one of these,he's just started drum lessons,but no way can I have a drum kit at home** A: An 8 year old beginner would be great for one of these drum pads it's quiete and very portable, I think it's great. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Brilliant! *by T***H on 22 October 2012* The gum rubber side (grey) has a very nice feel, it gives a lot of rebound similar to that of a kit snare drum where as the black harder side has a marching snare-like feel to it.
