• good for practice

  

  As reviewed by LudwigDrummer123 on 11/15/2007

  I have had these for about a month now, because my parents were getting tired of the constant noise i was making while playing. These have held up well so far, and the level of reduction is impressive. the only reason im giving this a four star rating is because of the snare mute. the tom mutes work exremely well, but the snare isnt muted as much, but that might just be because i have a 6 1/2" snare... this is a great deal, even without the bass mute. if you need significant sound reduction when you're practicing, buy these..for $30 you cant go wrong!

• Not noise reduction but chop developers

  

  As reviewed by Rac on 8/22/2010

  Been practicing with HQ silencer pads on all five drums for the past two months now and have made improvement in my live performances. Main reason I've utilized these during practice isn't because of cutting noise but mainly because of it's "Non-Responsive" surfaces. Being non-responsive requires you to work harder aiming for more precision in developing cleaner chops and rudimental coordination which makes for cleaner execution when playing drums live without them. The results have been improved, 99% better performances in live situations (on the gig). Practicing with non-responsive surfaces allows you to hear where you are weak (weaker hand, foot coordinates and unaware sloppiness) and to strengthen those areas by working harder yet smarter. Practicing on non-responsive surfaces opens the opportunity for improvement and development playing your drums in a live situation - and that's taken it to the stage.
