Drumshhh Small Black Drum Pads for Rock Band

 (21 customer reviews)

The pads are felt covered and do reduce the clickety-clack of the Rock Band Drums.
Do they make them whisper quiet? No.
Do they reduce the noise? Yes.

Things they also do:
Reduce the 'bounce' of the stick off the pad and make it easier to hit bring them back down for repeat notes.
They are the color of the pads and make them stand out more than the little color ring does.
The increase the size (height) of the pad so it is less lickely to hit the rim of the pads with the stick if you contact the pad at an angle.

No, I have not had to hit the drums any harder to ger them to work, either. While they are rubberized, it is a harder rubber similar to a mousepad. They are self adhesive backed and the adhesive is firm enough to hold but weak enough to remove if you should ever want to send the drum kit back under warranty.

The pads work very well. They don't silence the drum pads but there is a very noticeable difference with them on. The one thing I was worried about was the gameplay being affected but the drum set responded normally. I think I actually played better because I could hear more of the song!!

Now the only question of course is how long will they last. They seem well made but they are made of felt so how much pounding can they take we'll have to see. The adhesive seems to hold on well but it wasn't difficult to take them off once. I don't think you'll be able to remove them too many times and have them stick but at least you know you aren't attaching them permanently.

So if you've been looking for a way to quiet those drums, this is a good product. I could see a better solution come along but right now these get the job done.

Very easy to install, quiets the drum pad although not completely eliminating the sound, looks awesome with the color ring left on the outside and the black in the center, get these AS SOON as possible to protect your drum set...
