The best I have used so far
Zacharia 05.03.2022
First of all the quality of this product is at par no doubt about it. It is also very comfortable to play especially the softer side. It really helped me improve speed on my left hand which was slower.
The hard side is good as well but I prefer the softer one as it feels very close to hitting on drums.

This double side practice pad is heavy. So when you use it on a surface and not on a snare stand it does NOT bounce around. Also the soft surface is perfect to work with rebound techniques and it gives you a feel of very tight snare. The black hard surface has a lower rebound response. This makes is perfect for practising on your finger techniques with out depending on the rebound.

I live in an accommodation and i am able to play any time i want without disturbing my flatmates

Evans Practise pad

I was glad I purchased this double sided Evans practise pad as the automatic bounce is similar to a tight snare and great I can practise my rudiments at home without disturbing anyone.

Worth paying more for better feel
samdicas 19.07.2022
I used this pad as my first pad because of its price and it served me well. However, it is really just too bouncy and unrealistic to simulate a snare drum (even at the highest tuning). I would recommend maybe to beginners but overall I would recommend paying a bit extra for a more realistic pad.

A Beginner's Review
Anonymous 05.05.2015
Great practice pad for a beginner. I bought it after my first drum lesson and found it useful when watching tv and I want to practice the basics i.e. holding the drumsticks correctly, hitting the pad dead-centre. I also use it to play around with drum beats I have in my head.

Good start while waiting to get my drum kit and stop being a beginner :-)

Enjoy!

Very useful. Always in my backpack. Pretty heavy, which creates a feeling of indestructibility. I don't tune my snare drum ultra tight, so for me there is a little bit more bounce from pad's surface than i'd wish, however, it a good thing which does its job. My hands abilities now is far better than year ago.

Very highly regarded practice pad
Samizdat 06.08.2013
This practice pad has 2 different surfaces that can be used. The grey side with the logo feels quite like a snare head - there is a good bit of rebound. The black side is very hard and there is very little rebound. The grey side is quite quiet, and it could probably be used even at night time without disturbing those in other rooms (depending on walls/insulation etc.). The hard black side makes a louder clacking sound, so it's not suitable for late night practice. The only fault I can find is that the wood on the edges is rough and unfinished, but it doesn't affect the functionality of the product at all. I've been using it for several months and there is very little wear, so it will probably last a lifetime!

These are amazing.

I use the grey ('bouncy') side a lot and the black ('dead') side less. But you can't really beat Evans. Not the cheapest, but worth it. The are solid, well made and emulate a tight snare brilliantly.
