SLINT 12” Double-Sided Practice Pad – 2-Surface Drumming Trainer for Snare Practice, Quiet Home Use, Kids & Beginners

This was purchased for a 10 year old and it was the perfect way to get into drumming without going for the standard kit. It's a nice durable quality, sounds right, and is the perfect portable size. Bonus: Nice orange color and sleek design.

I like to hit stuff. Not gonna lie.Hit the head, hit the hay, hit the skins (that’s drumming)I love my E-set but can’t always move it around to where I want to practice and the man I usually end up skipping the rudiments to play with the sounds.I’m an old drummer and want to actually finally learn how to play.I like the look of this pad. That’s why I ordered it over any of the others. (Well, and the price was pretty good.)I didn’t pay a bunch so I didn’t expect too much. When I got it though, the package was heavier than I expected. It’s got great weight to it. I haven’t tried balancing it to see if there is a heavy end if that matters to you.It looks as good as the pictures suggest.The carry bag:...is not high quality. I expect it to not last near as long as the practice pad should. I also wish the bag came with a stick holder and a pocket for guides. Here’s the deal, lacking these things suck but I’m not gonna drop a star off because I “want” more than I expected and more than what I got which was more... well you get it.The sticks:...are alright. I am keen to my regular sticks and probably will not use these for anything more than “friend” sticks. (You know the kind. The ones you pull out when your friends want some time at your kit and they just aren’t good with spatial awareness, applied force, and reason).The pad:As you may have guessed by now, I am not an expert in practice pads. I have built my own. Mostly I just used some wood or MDF and glued either rubber mat or dense foam to it.This one feels very well built. The pads on each side which give you differing feels, sounds, and noise levels appear to be well adhered to the middle board. I will update if I notice it delaminating.Buy it. If it’s your first or for your kid, get it. It’s not expensive, it’s solid and a pleasure to play.

Bought this for my daughter as she began learning the drums. She uses it for practicing rhythms since eshe doesn't have a full drum kit yet. It's great to have for beginners and also fairly portable. The stand is sturdy and holds up well. Once adjusted it does stay in place. We've moved it (adjusted) quite a few times around the house and the stand stayed in place. The sticks are pretty good quality (so far as we all know) and she's very happy with it. Drum instructor told us it was good quality also so, there's that. Slightly heavy for a 6 year old, but she handles it well. Cases are good quality and no broken zippers as of yet. The stick case is great and is nice to have the backups ready to go. I might prefer some separation within the case (like slots for each set of sticks) but that is my OCD and overall, works great. Good value and sturdy.

Needed for school for my kid.Comes with everything that you would need for a starter drummer for school.Priced well and works well.

When I first got a hold of the SLINT Practice Pad Set. I was pretty amazed at all the extras it came with.First off, everything was packed nicely, and everything was in a separate bag making it easy to organize.The pad itself is very durable. I dropped it intentionally to see how well it would stand up to falls, and it did very well. The rubber did not separate from the base, and there were no evident indentations or dents.As far as how it responds, its very responsive to a variety of sticks from Marching Snare Sticks to Drumset Sticks to Practice Aluminum Weighted Sticks. The pad held together very well and took a beating quite nicely. Pun intended.The stand it is provided with does the job of holding the pad well, although I would not recommend putting a snare drum on it. The height is a bit lacking, as I wanted it to be about 6 inches higher as I'm a pretty tall person even when seated.The sticks it comes with are a bit smaller than normal 5A sticks, but that's to be expected. They're light and definitely meant for beginners.It also came with some dampeners for acoustic drums, which was a nice touch! Can always use those on gigs when playing on house kits!As far as the overall value, it really can't be beat. The cost of buying everything separately would cost way more than this. This is the best deal you can get if you are looking for a practice pad for a beginning percussionist or drummer.

This drum pad is nicely made and it works well for my son's beginner drum class. It also includes drum sticks and a nylon zipper case for the drum pad. The case could be improved by including a strap or pocket to hold the drum sticks. As it is, you must carry the case and drum sticks separately. The only other flaw is the gel self-stick pads provided that you are supposed to stick on the bottom of the drum pad as "feet" fall off immediately--like in minutes. Either the adhesive must be improved or another method to attach them must be found. Overall this is an excellent drum pad set--nicely priced and a great deal of fun for kids and adults alike. Recommended.

Nice quality. My boys used it for 2 years when they took precession in school

I bought this as a birthday present for my mom Denise Goldberg, and she loves it. Very easy to put together and doesn't take up a lot of space. The setup is basic but sturdy, I've got one myself and I've hit it as hard as I can and it doesn't have any issues. The bounce on the pad is great, especially for anyone first learning to control the sticks. The extra drum sticks and the covers are very convenient and make it an even better value for the money.Whether you want to actually start learning drums, or just think, "I want to bang on some drum pads," this is a great kit and comes with everything you need.
