Great quality, price and sounds very like a Xymox… for 1/3 of the cost!
This is awesome for the price, was going to order a Xymox, but the one I wanted was out of stock and charged a fortune to ship from USA. This does exactly the same. Great snare sound, rebound etc and can hold stocks in purpose designed slot when not playing. Comes with budget Donner sticks which are fine for a beginner. Great value for quality and price paid.

Brilliant Practice Pad for Rusty Drummer of Beginner!
Not a complete novice to drumming, but haven't played for years - so wanted something fairly faithful to practice without the noise! Really nice experience, very well made and the rebound and snare sound is great without being too loud. Recommended for a beginner or a rusty drummer just wanting to get back into playing. The pad comes with a basic drumming rudiments sheet of music notation - but probably needs further explanation/demo links to a video of what you're supposed to be doing. A small minor point!

Well made quality product.
Solidly made. Very subtle snare sound. Supplied with a well balanced set of sticks. Ideal for quiet basic snare practice.

Delighted with this!
Subtle but effective snare sound and feel. Great for use with practice kit. I use an old electronic Roland kit with the sound off. Having this pad sitting on top of the rubber snare pad really enhances my experience of practicing. Also good for practicing cross-sticking. The only caveat is I'm finding it hard not to make a lot of noise when practicing rimshots, but I see a positive side as it's training me not to play them too hard, which generally isn't helpful or necessary- and breaks sticks!

Keeps the neighbours happy!
Gives a good drum feel and bounce. Not sure the ball bearings for the snare sound but a good practice pad

Mio figlio sta usando questo drum pad da qualche settimana e devo dire che mi ha davvero stupito. La superficie ha un ottimo rimbalzo, né troppo morbido né troppo rigido, e permette di esercitarsi per sessioni anche lunghe senza affaticare i polsi. È solido, ben costruito e non scivola sul tavolo grazie alla base antiscivolo. L’ho comprato per farlo studiare rudimenti a casa senza fare troppo rumore, e fa esattamente quello che promette: è abbastanza silenzioso, ma comunque reattivo e preciso. Anche il peso è giusto, dà la sensazione di uno strumento di qualità.

For the price this is a great practise pad. Sturdy construction and the cut away for sticks is a great design feature.

I like the rebound and durability of the pad. Not as noisy as others

As a drummer with a mix of stage and garage experience, I’ve gone through a few practice pads over the years—and this one really impressed me. Whether you’re a beginner working on fundamentals or a more advanced player trying to tighten up your rudiments, this pad does exactly what it should. 🥁 What Stands Out: • Realistic Rebound: The surface has a natural stick response that feels close to a snare. It’s not too bouncy like some cheaper pads, but not dead either. It gives you a true feel, which is important for developing technique. • Quiet Enough for Late Practice: I’ve used it at night with the family sleeping and no complaints. You get a solid feel and sound feedback without the volume of a real drum. • Non-Slip Backing: The base grips well to most surfaces, whether it’s a table, snare stand, or even my lap. It stays in place while you play, which is huge when you’re running drills. • Durability: After hours of use, it shows no signs of wear or denting. The rubber is dense and resilient—built to last through heavy practice sessions. ⸻ 🔄 Versatility: I’ve been using it with both 5A and 7A sticks, and it responds great either way. I’ve also loaned it to a student who’s just starting out, and they loved it too. It’s a solid option for all experience levels. ⸻ ✅ Final Verdict: If you’re looking for a dependable, high-quality practice pad with a realistic feel, this is an excellent choice. It’s durable, quiet, and responsive—the kind of tool that helps you actually improve without needing a full kit. I highly recommend it for students, hobbyists, or even working drummers who want a portable warm-up option.
