SoundOff by Cymbal Mute, Universal

So, this is my first official product review on amazon... I think this thing is awesome. we live in a 2 br apt. This works as advertised. Reduces the loudness/feeling of the "thump" from the bass drum pretty significantly without compromising the "sound" of the thump. Don't get me wrong, the bass drum is still felt and heard and is still pretty loud... just at a fairly reduced level. If i were sitting in the living room, the drumset is in an adjacent bedroom. When played, its felt and heard, but I can still watch tv... turned up mind you... to my ears, the sound coming from the bass drum still sounds, well, like a bass drum... waaayyyy better sound reproduction than any drum mute for the snare, toms, and especially the cymbals when practiced/played together. As for longevity... my 9 yr old is the one that uses it on her Premier drumset (which is super awesome and I'll eventually review that set bought from here). Now she obviously does not have have a lead foot, so I'm pretty sure this will stand up for a long time. Now when I play her set, I consciously try not to smash the bass drum pedal... if a heavy footed person were to use this, I can see this product not lasting that long... for my daughter, it works great. I'm sure the neighbors appreciate her using it than her not using one. As for the striking of the pad with the beater feeling... you definitely know your hitting something other than the drum head. Doesn't bother me... doesn't bother my daughter. .. we don't really notice at all... she could still play fairly fast with a single pedal... can she play faster without the pad? Possibly... haven't realll tried to test that out... shes not playing death metal or anything like that, so not a huge issue here, anyways. will it bother some... I'm sure there are purist who will not like the feel of it... it all comes down to which of the lesser of the 2 evils one can live with. We think it's an easy trade off... Installation is easy and straight forward. Unpacking, installing, to playing took probably at the most 5 min... adjusting it to absolute perfect placement took maybe another couple minutes... simple and easy. .. how can you not like that... If this thing broke down, I wouldn't hesitate to buy it again if I still lived in an apt. So again, reduces overall sound without compromising the actual "sound". My daughter can still easily be felt /heard laying down the backbeat with my other daughter playing along with her bass... which means the bass guitar amp volume can be turned down as well. There are other bass drum mutes that work equally well if not better... however, my daughter's bass drum is only 16" in diameter... this product is the only player in town... unless one modifies a different drum mute for a 16 " tom and modifies it to for a 16" bass drum. I love this thing... originally my daughter was using a roland electronic drumset with mesh heads at my apt and an acoustic set at her mom's. Obvioulsy the roland was waaaaaayyyyyy quieter. As much as i loved the electronic kit, When she started telling her music teacher that she preferred the electronic set "feel", I said enough of that and bought the Premier APK microbop set to keep her on the "acoustic" path. And this product at least helps to try to quiet it down... So buy it if you have a light foot for your or for the kids... if you're heavy footed... this may not last... for us, it works great... YMMV... have a great day...

Works well but the durability is an issue

Fa il mestiere per cui è stata realizzata, e lo fa anche molto bene

Das Teil ist zwar relativ teuer, sind aber nun doch froh über die Anschaffung. Es kann absolut fest und stabil befestigt werden und dämpft mega ab!!! Absolute Kaufempfehlung!!!

Além de silencioso tem um ótimo rebote.
