I ended up trying all 3 major brands, Vater, SoundPercussion, and finally Vic Firth. The Vater and the SP are exactly the same. Both are good. The Vic Firth, some would say are also the same but I find them slightly heavier (stay on better) and also have slightly better bounce (more realistic). I can actually do a roll on the VF, couldn't on the others. So, I guess I'll keep the VF's, until someone comes out with something that works like a real practice pad.
I knew I had to pick up a set of these before my drumset would be complete. I know Vic Firth makes another pack, I think I chose this pack because it was a few bucks cheaper and included cymbal pads for the ride AND crash. Not sure if the other one did. They incredibly reduce the volume. The cymbals have an odd after tone, but that is normal with rubber dampers. The toms and base are greatly reduced. The snare was still a little loud, so I folded a small blanket between the snare and stand and it really brought down the volume. You can play along with a metronome and still hear it. Highly recommended to keep the peace in your neighborhood. Awesome product.
These do a good job of muffling but have several drawbacks. First, they are very light. They tend to bounce out of the drums and require taping (duct tatpe works) to keep them in place, especially the bass muffler. The little velcro pads give up easily and the muffler ends up tangled in teh pedal. Second, the rough and very low durometer (soft) surface grabs your stick tips, therefore, the surface feel and response is very different from the head surface. It takes getting used to. Also, the material wears very easily especially on the cymbal pads where you play in a localized area.
