I am interested in learning drums but I don't have space for a full kit nor did I want the noise from a real drum while I am in the beginning stages of learning. The pad is good for learning beginning rudiments and stick control and is much cheaper than a real drum. This pad is reported to give you a real drum head feel and the bundle also included a pair of sticks. I like the feel and the 12" size gives you enough space without being cramped. There is noise from the hits of the sticks but it is not super loud. Others in the room might still find it annoying if you are reading or doing other quiet things. May even bother some if they are watching TV but it could be a lot worse. I generally play it on my knees while I watch TV. My cats are critics and want to play with the sticks while I practice! I guess you can't please everybody..

About this item
PRACTICE ANYTIME, ANYWHERE - Evans RealFeel Drum Practice Pad provides the best practice substitute to acoustic drums, so you can practice rudiments, paradiddles or just drum along to that song on the radio – without disturbing anyone. Portable and quiet, it works on any surface including carpet, table, lap or inside a standard snare basket.
TWO-SIDED DRUM PAD – The two-sided design of the practice drum pad gives you options for the type of practice you are doing.

Also, random, but Amazon sent me this cranberry juice that I didn’t order with my package causing it to be delayed a day. Annoying lol. I’m not a fan of the juice, but the practice pad that I DID order is great! ????
