Review: Excellent Practice Pad—Quiet, Realistic, and Well Made - I bought the Evans RealFeel drum practice pad, and it’s been fantastic for practicing without making a ton of noise. The 12-inch size is perfect, and the dual-sided design is really useful—one side has a more realistic rebound, while the other offers a slightly firmer feel for endurance and control work. The gum rubber and neoprene surfaces feel great to play on, and the rebound is very natural. It helps build technique without stressing your hands or wrists. I also appreciate how sturdy it is—it stays put while playing and feels durable enough to last a long time. It’s perfect for home practice, warming up before rehearsals, or even throwing in a bag to take on the go. Quiet enough for apartment use, but still gives that satisfying response drummers want. If you’re a drummer looking for a reliable, high-quality practice pad, this one is a total win. I’m really happy with it!
Review: Great - Great quality, good value, and pretty much as advertised. Evans is one of the best drum head brands out there. If youre wondering about noise, the sound is much softer and less echoey. Great for practicing, also super bouncy with great stick rebound. Pay attention the the size measurements when buying.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Do you need to have a stand for this pad?**
A: You don't need a stand, but it's better if you have one.  You could rest the practice pad on your lap or on a chair.  Mounting it in a snare drum stand is the best way to use this practice pad, as it allows you to sit comfortably (properly), and adjust the height and angle of the practice pad...so I would highly recommend getting a snare drum stand with this practice pad.

**Q: We have a 7 year old just starting. Should we get the 12 inch or the 6 inch size? Related: Is one size better for "expanding" his practice set later?**
A: I played the 6 inch for years and just recently got the 12 inch. The 12 inch is much more convenient as it sits in your lap better, works well with a typical snare stand, and just offers more area to play on. The only benefit I can see with the 6 inch is that it's easier to travel with.

**Q: What is better? This or the Vic Firth 2-Sided Practice Pad also 12 inches. Pros? Cons? Final thoughts?**
A: The Firth pad is slightly better. It is a shame because RealFeel made the best pad in history (or at least, the best I've played) and changed it about 5 or 8 years ago. You can still find the older pads on ebay. Honestly, though, for a new pad, I'd recommend the Firth or a Vater pad over this one.

**Q: My son is a snare player in marching band. Will this give him the feel and sound he needs to practice?**
A: "Sound," no way does it sound like a snare.  But most people aren't buying a practice pad because they want it to sound like a real drum.  The point is to practice more quietly.  But "feel," yes.  The rebound is similar to a well tuned snare.  I'm an older musician, but I'm new to drums, and I've developed a really nice buzz roll and other rudiments mostly through practicing on the pad.  When I go to my real drum kit, the feel is similar.  So it's effective to develop technique.  Also, since it's portable, your son can slip it in his backpack with some sticks and practice anywhere.You probably want to get nylon tipped sticks - the rebound from the pad feels more natural.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great pad. Zero issues!
*by C***S on December 15, 2025*

Very nicely made. No defects. Solid wood w a nice thick rubberized pad. Mine came with the drilled hole in the back to attach to a stand (sorry not sure what it’s called). I recommend this for practicing rolls and rudiments.
