Best Practice Pads & Devices of 2025

"I have purchased many pads and this one never gets old. I’m very happy with the rebound feel, and the double-sided feature is very cost efficient. I recommend it to all types of snare drummers."

"As someone interested in learning drums, I needed something compact and quiet. This pad is perfect for practicing rudiments and stick control, and it gives a real drum head feel. I love the 12" size—it’s spacious enough without feeling cramped!"

"This pad quickly became one of the best drum-related purchases I've made. The two sides offer different feels, and the grey rubber side is quiet with excellent rebound. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a quiet way to practice and for beginners!"

"I was searching for something smaller, quieter, and more portable than my old practice pad. This is a perfect match for me!"

"I travel a lot for work, and I bought this 6-inch pad to keep in my carry-on. It's the ideal size and feels just like my larger one!"

"I liked this product for its good quality and nice bounce. I returned it only because I needed a pad with a practice stand but would recommend it for tabletop use."

"I would highly recommend this pad. It's quiet and putting a towel underneath when playing helps on hard surfaces. The rubber is softer, making it feel closer to a real snare. It’s quite portable, although TSA pulled it out of my bag a few times, saying it looked 'organic' in the x-ray. I believe it will last forever."

"I got this complete kit, and while it’s okay, I wish the drum pad was made of solid wood instead of particle board. The snare stand is a bit tricky to tighten, but once you get it right, it works. The heavy-duty carrying bag is impressive, and although the sticks could be better, it serves its purpose for a new drummer."

"This double-sided practice pad is just what I needed. I take it to the office to bust boredom and get my practice in. The pad is quiet yet responsive, and the included stand is adjustable. Best of all, the carrying bag makes transporting everything a breeze!"
