A great product from Remo, with a nice feel to it and tunable using the flat-bladed key provided. Fits a standard threaded stand too. Good value and recommended.

i love this pad! i have a pearl and lugwin pratice pad and this puts them both to sham.It is easy to tune.Has great rebound.it is well made so it wont break.This is just agood pad all a round. No other drum maker has made a pad this good ive tried them all.

Good to practice on, especially if you're just starting out because it's a lot quieter than a real drum. It's my first one, I'm new to this, so I wonder if it's supposed to get scuff marks easily.

It would be nice if it came with a stand.

while its much quieter than a real drum, its still much too loud for a practice pad. If you're living with someone I suggest you get a pad with a rubber surface, i found those to be exponentially quieter, and they feel just as great.
I think the type of plastic used contributes to the loudness, its hard and fragile, and it feels a bit cheap. I'm not surprised the rim won't last long if you do rimshots on it.

I bought this Remo practice pad via Amazon, so I didn't try it out before buying. It is LOUD! I might as well be playing a snare drum. I wasn't comfortable practicing without hearing protection. The drumming action on it is nice, though.

Because I didn't like the Remo, I bought an Evans Real Feel, which is MUCH quieter, and has two materials for different rebound action (it's REALLY nice!!)...so now the Remo is a dust collector. I'd recommend not getting the Remo and spend the extra money on an Evans Real Feel (2-sided) RF12D.

Drum pad is just right for my 11 year old to use to practice when not at home. Great idea for quiet practice time also.l

we are newbies to the drum lessons and wanted to give our 7 year old son the chance to see if it was something he would like BUT did not want to invest in a full drum set...so for less $20.00 we got the practice pads and he has been taking these to his drum lessons and what he uses at home to practice. First it is significantly quieter which is a BIG plus, second it takes up alot less space and third it is ALOT cheaper. Great investment to "try before you buy" on the drum set and lessons.

I don't understand the people who diss this pad because it's louder than others. I think that's a real advantage. The conventional pads are way too quiet. You can't really play dynamics.

It's true that your roommates won't like this one, but they shouldn't have agreed to room with a drummer. Drums are loud!

This is a really good pad.

I drum once or twice a week and use this to practice at home. If you're a beginner - this is the perfect investment, but I can imagine you need a better option once you get into drumming.

This has a nice feel to it, very similar to a real drum head. It's also large enough to use comfortably. It can also be tuned as it begins to show its age.

We're happy with the practice pad itself, but it took quite a long time to arrive (I ordered it December 9 and it didn't arrive until December 22). It was shipped via Priority Mail with a shipping label dated December 10 (did they label it and not ship for almost two weeks?). We received no notice of it being backordered or delayed.

Shipping issues aside, the pad itself is very nice quality, and the price through Amazon was the best we found.
