Evans Drum Mutes

I finally got my drums down here to Florida and would like to someday have practice at my house occasionally. It is a quiet neighborhood and I want to try to keep the sound levels down. I know it is a big hassle to constantly move drums in and out so i bought this kit to stay here for my drummer to use. I purchased these Evans Soundoff Rock Pack Drum Mutes and want to test them out.

Thank you, yes they work pretty good at keeping the noise down when you just want to practice.

Rock on Dan

appreciate the effort you made to share this with us. I think I am going to order 2 sets of pads and double stack them

[@boo2759]

did you notice that having it souble stacked made it quieter? trying to start out but not be too loud for too muxh moneyy

[@michaelamato2714]

Great demonstration Dan, thanks. The pads dampen the sound of the drums and cymbals until it sounds like your banging on a cardboard box. The snare sounds the best. I wish the pads let through some of the sonorous tone of a tom drum head or ringing sound of the cymbals. I think it would work better if the pads were UNDER the snare and drum heads and under the cymbals. This way, the stick would still strike the head/cymbal and generate a natural sound, before being dampened underneath.

Yes, the sound isn’t that great but it is good for practicing when you don’t want the neighbors to hear and complain. I used to have a drummer who put mesh heads on his acoustic set and used triggers for different drum sounds. To play out he would line out to the board and also have his own monitor amp. It was very quiet ( except for cymbals) but worked well because he was a very hard hitting drummer. Thanks for Watching

One thing that I did with my drummers kit with the medium Tom to get rid of the ringing was taken the ring off and cut an old t shirt to a little bigger than the drum head and put it on top of it. Then tune it up. I couldn't get a sound I liked with the resonant head on no matter how I tuned it. But when it took it off completely it sounds great now I think

[@dansvideovault2186]

I do like using the moon gels for added dampening.

Do the neighbors complain?
Im thinking on getting my first drum set with these but i dont want to upset my neighbors

[@dansvideovault2186]

Not at all. They are considerably quieter.
