4 Stars drum silencers
this product is a necessity for the rock ban drum set. It really cuts down on the noise the drum sticks make on the drum.
5 Stars Big Difference
If you are like me and like to play the guitar, if you have a drummer who doesn’t know how to drum, they bang the kit loudly and it throws off your rhythm when they are off. So you have two options: either turn up the music to drown out your awful drummer, or buy these silencers. I chose the latter and so far it has paid off with no noise complaints.
I followed the tip from another reviewer about removing the plastic rim on the drum head before installing, and I think it looks a lot nicer than popping up on the edges. I can’t say whether or not this helps with accuracy, but aesthetically it is much more appeasing.
4 Stars Easy to put on, look great, great protection
I bought these drum silencers for my wii Rock Band 2 drum set. As far as I can tell, they don’t do much noise reduction. There’s some, but not enough to get excited about. I purchased these more for protection of my drum pads. My red pad was starting to bubble and knowing that would eventually lead to my pad not working at all, I bought these to protect them. One month later and my set is still working great so they’re doing their job. Also, they look nice. I’ve known some people to use different home modifications to silence/protect their drums, but none of those methods look as nice as these. I think they’re worth the money. Anything to save me from yet another RMA with EA.
5 Stars Worth the money
The first day it was a little hard to get used to but after a while it’s good. The cool thing is, is that you can use it on Rock Band 2 Drums and it was way quieter.
Yes I recommend this to anyone you plays Rock Band Drums alot.
5 Stars Great for Rock Band 2 drums, as well
I recently bought a Rock Band 2 drum kit. I read many reports of the rubber on the drum heads cracking or bubbling. This worried me, but I heard that these drum silencers are a good way of preserving your drum pads. Now, if anything goes, it will be the silencers first. These are replaceable, and though the drum kit is as well, the silencers are a much quicker solution.
After installing the silencers, I noticed a few good things. The rubber goes over the actual drum head and protects the plastic ring around them. This is great because I found myself hitting the plastic a few times. The silencers also add cushion to the heads. No longer does it feel like I’m whacking away on a piece of plastic covered with thin rubber. The heads feel much more secure with the extra rubber to cushion your hits.
Finally, the silencers add amazing bounce. I can perform rolls so much easier now, it’s ridiculous. I’m having so much fun just rolling away while I play.
As for sensitivity, I haven’t really noticed much of an issue. If anything, it has centered the responsive area just a tad more. However, the drums respond better when you hit the center, anyway. I’m already used to that, so this isn’t really an issue to me. If for some reason, your drums allow you to hit anywhere on the head and the hits actually register, this product might hinder that ability.
All in all, this is a great product. They come off cleanly, provide extra cushion, make drum rolls so much easier, and generally protect your drum heads. If you want a prolonged life for your drum kit, these are a good buy.
