The RealFeel 2-sided speed and workout drum pad will elevate your practice to new heights.

Natural Gum Rubber Surface Responds Like a Real Drum

The natural gum rubber side of the RealFeel pad provides a texture and rebound highly reminiscent of an acoustic drum head. Drummers can execute complex rudiments, work on timing, and groove along to songs while experiencing the familiar feel of their drum set. The recycled rubber reverse side offers a harder, slicker surface for building speed, endurance and control. With two unique playing experiences in one pad, drummers have everything they need for focused, comprehensive practice.

Dense Foam Base Provides a Stable Platform

The RealFeel pad features a dense foam base that prevents excess movement during intense practice sessions. Drummers can strike the pad with confidence knowing it will remain securely in place on any surface, from a tabletop to a snare stand. The foam material also dampens vibration and limits excess noise, making this pad an ideal option for apartment living or late-night practice.

Highly Portable for Practice Anywhere

Weighing just 2.2 pounds, the RealFeel pad is extremely lightweight and portable. Drummers can easily transport this pad to and from the practice space, rehearsal studio or gig. The included carrying case provides durable protection and convenient storage for sticks, mallets and other accessories. With the RealFeel pad, drummers have a singular solution for focused practice no matter where inspiration strikes.

Additional Features for Optimal Performance

The RealFeel pad measures 12" in diameter, providing ample surface area for complex exercises and sticking patterns. It also includes a bolt-through design for secure mounting to most standard snare stands. The non-slip rubber feet prevent sliding on flat surfaces. Combining premium components with an innovative two-sided design, the RealFeel 2-sided speed and workout drum pad delivers an unparalleled practice experience for dedicated drummers everywhere.

    An absolute classic. The pad does exactly what it needs to, great rebound and the two-sided design allows for practicing on a surface with less rebound. While I wish that the shape of the pad would fit into a snare basket better, it's also very portable and great on the go.

  • Great!

    I bought this practice pad (12 inch) recently and I love it. It's rubber on one side, wood on the other. The rebound on both sides feels natural and I can practice without making too much noise. I also have the 6 inch size, but as a beginner, I think I prefer the 12 inch size to practice.

    I enjoy that this can go from sitting snugly on my snare to my coffee table so I can keep practicing while watching tv. Perfect rebounds, and never slips or slides!

    I’m sorry, I don’t know. Perhaps an inquiry to Evans.

    Would this be good for a 3 year old who loves to "drum" on everything to "play" with? If so what kind of drumsticks would you buy for it?

    This would be great. The types of sticks won't really make too much of a difference. But the pad itself would be beyond durable enough for the worst a 3-year old could muster.

    Hey guys, fairly new to drumming, have never had a practice pad. Those of you who have bought it, is it possible to just put it on a table or chair, or do I need to get a snare basket for it? Thanks in advance!
