Rob, I’m getting into the drumming game a little later in life than most, I came across your lesson that you did with Drumeo about keeping a pocket and decided to check out the channel. I just wanted to say that you (as well as a few other UA-cam drummers) are helping me progress so quickly in my playing. I’m 22 and I just got my first kit a few weeks ago and I’m already learning enough to start playing some basic songs. So thank you thank you thank you for all you do to help teach and inspire the future drummers of the world like myself 🥁
As soon as I seen drumeo present this product I was sold. Finally a functional practice pad for your foot pedal thats small and easy to use. Simply brilliant! 🥁
@Rob Brown thanks for turning us on to the quiet kicks! I put my order in right after watching your video, of course. I'm glad I did because they went out of stock within hours! For anyone wanting even quieter kicks, I found a 25 cent hack. Grab yourself some sponge material or just a sponge itself, 2 rubber bands, cut the sponge to the size of the pad and then put another QK pad on top, making some what of a 'sponge sandwhich'. Then wrap that whole assembly on to the front of the QK on top of the velcro'd pad using the rubber bands. This reduced the 'boing' of the vibrations in the QK to a soft 'thud'. I'd guess it's about 75% quieter, and should also result in the included pads lasting forever since they won't be taking direct impact. Good luck! Thanks again Rob! Love your channel! Anyway, this reduced the 'boing' of

New subscriber here. Most excellent instructions and great delivery! You can hot glue a $1.50 piezo buzzer to the metal underneath the pad, wire a jack or plug and you have an electronic kick trigger as well.
I have two concerns. 1) The strike pad is right over the spikes, so all the force is going to drive the spikes into a soft wood floor like a hammer and nails. 3) I live in an apartment with downstairs neighbors, and with the force directed into my floor...well, they might have something to say about that. I'd like to try one at Guitar Center first.
I'm on a plank floor as well, I cut a piece of carpet to protect it but the pedal keeps sliding with a decently powerful hit, kinda like a creeping bass drum
Apartment dwellers, specifically ones that don't live on their bottom floor, how do you think it would work with the vibrations going in the ground, through the ceiling below and potentially bothering neighbors?
In general reducing beater noise is not hard, but stopping the vibrations caused by your foot stamping on the pedal is difficult to cure. I mount my practice kit on a thick (1" / 25mm) rubber pad. The sort of flooring you see in gyms. It's pretty good at absorbing vibrations, but still I'm respectful of when I practice and for how long.
Yea, I always feel bad for drummers that live in apartments. But I think just an extra layer between your pedal and the floor might be enough. Perhaps even a little rug on top of a yoga mat
@@RobBeatdownBrown for me it's been a freakin nightmare being a drummer in an apartment. Neighbors were cool for 3/4 months then they started to say it was too loud, so I tried putting carpets under, didn't work, so I tried thick rubber carpets, didn't work, so I tried a tennis ball riser, didn't work, and then I ultimately brought the kit to my shred place and fused it with my acoustic. Now I can practice about half the time and when I'm at home I use my pad 😕
@@lucacutillidrums How did the tennis ball riser not work? That's saddening, since i'm thinking about getting those to work with the Roland noise eaters NE-10.
Newbee here... I'm not clear on what exactly comes with this pad. I see that there is a framework, pedals, etc. as well. Wd like to get a practice pad for the drumsticks as well as a kick pad to start my sister off with a quiet solution to practice. How much actually comes with this kickpad? Price? Other basics that are shown in this video. Links wd be great! Your help is much appreciated!.
this pad is great... i have the Evan's Real Pad bass drum pad which has the same pad as the Quiet Kick but the size of the Quiet Kick makes it a winner...
Correct me if im wrong but the thing with these kick practice pads, if you take into consideration the price of the ff: kick practice pad + hand practice pad + hardware, might as well chip in a few dollars and have yourself a decent electronic kit, albeit a 2nd hand one?
I'm returning the one my wife got me as a gift. Hate to do it, but there's a serious problem: the beater hits the pad LONG BEFORE the bottom of the stroke, when it would hit the head on an actual bass drum. This is a serious issue if you're working on advanced studies (like JoJo Meyer, etc.)
@@djashjones lol! I used to have that kik. Very compact. Plugged it into a mic jack once (instead of my drum module) -- it was supersensistive like a condenser mic, not acoustically well isolated, which explained why I was getting so much false triggering on live stage
I bought one there was a rattle going on took a minute to figure it out, it was the spikes that comes with it removed them problem solved, just put one of the pads under it.
Prologix has a similar design though it's made out of wood. I didn't like it because it slid on wood floors. I wonder if the spikes on this would help that.
Now that you have both the Prologix and this one, would you say the Drumeo pad is just as good at the Prologix? Because I know the Prologix is $150 vs this which is around $70. And are they both just as quiet or is one more quiet than the other? Thanks :)
I am moving rom a house into an apartment, and my biggest concern with this (and really any practice pads you put on the floor,) are the vibrations coming through the floor if I am in an upstairs room.. How much do you think the quick kick minimizes that?
How much does the different beater change the feel?
Not as much as you think when you just adjust the beater height. If you set it to sit parallel to the floor at rest, it feels about same.
Finally someone actually showing how loud it is without talking over it. THANK YOU!

The vibration on the floor is super, super, super strong. Other things are great.
I really like that. The perfect way to practice kick drumming, in a very quiet way. Nice and compact, lightweight, and portable. Cheers, Rob! ✌️🥁

I don't know about the reverse beater thing. The reverse beater Isn't the same as hitting the bass drum. Anyone, can you convince me otherwise?

I had the same concern… I’m looking for a way to practice double kick with downstairs neighbors and it’s looking kinda bleak..

A good reason to spend the day at the hardware store and then in the workshop.

Great bit of kit.👍🏽
the best item to practice double pedal

Sensei Rob, back with an amazing product review. I gotta pick one of these up.
Thanks Rob, just ordered one👍🏻🥁
I like your style! u rock!
I bought one... I love it. It won't work with an old Speed King pedal (direct drive) but I it works fine with my DW pedal.
What metronome are you using?

Hey Rob, to think I started looking for this solution before checking you out first. Will I ever learn :)
Cheers

Did you have to adjust the beater angle? people say it is too close to the normal settings?
Very cool invention! ✌🏼
it is not only compact, but it also solves the problem, that a "normal" kick pad tends to wander forward, away from you...
Mine keeps creeping forward slowly
2:20
LOL dead.
I’ll settle with half as cool
Sometimes the rabbit holes gives up a carrot! Thanks. I just ordered this and it's exactly what I am needing right now.
How dose it i stall
@Rob Brown, in my Opinion, the best Kick practice pad so far is the Hansenfütz Fütz II :)
I'm returning the one my wife got me as a gift. Hate to do it, but there's a serious problem: the beater hits the pad LONG BEFORE the bottom of the stroke, when it would hit the head on an actual bass drum. This is a serious issue if you're working on advanced studies (like JoJo Meyer, etc.)
Can’t you just adjust the angle of the beater?
@@shakefishgamingpro yes, but then the pedal would be adjusted incorrectly for playing a bass drum. So you're not practicing with your normal pedal.
How can I Order it can I order on Amazon also Can I fit any brand kick Pedal ?
I am an attorney representing Popeye's Chicken LLC. I can confirm that this product ....looks pretty cool.
HAHAHAHAHAHA
Stick a $20 drum trigger on it and VIOLA - instant electronic kick drum, plugged into your fave drum sound module!
It's called a Roland KD-7

@@MikeBerbano Currently rocking one on my kit. Will get another one if I decide to play double bass ;o)
How does it feel with the beater reversed? Seems like it would feel kind of unnatural.
I thought it might, too. But as long as you adjust the beater height so it sits parallel to the floor at rest...feels exactly the same 👌🏾

What kind of pad?
Evening dude!!
Which double pedal are you using and how it is not moving without any rug?
Good video
“the only difference is, these won’t kill you” 😭😭☠️
Nice video well demoed But no link dude
It’s the first link in the description box

I had that same chunky practice pad for my feet! It was pretty annoying
In other words Dave Mathews STILL isn't gonna call. Oh well still gotta have one. Thnx!!👍👍
looolz i've got that pos gibraltar practice kick and it looks just like that.. cobwebs and all.
This product I really doubt will last. The spikes will pull out of the carpeting with heavy use.
Bro those kicks! Pumas??
$79 dollars for one that comes with one beater, or $99 dollars for one that comes with 2!!!
Need this in india.
nice touch with tha cobwebz 🕸🕸
Cool! :))

simple but yet it costs $79
79 bucks for that little thing? No. Oh wait, let me clarify, OH HELL NO. lol. nice idea though.
POPEYES CHICKEN 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

How quiet is this thingamabob
Love popeyes, afraid to order a sandwich.
for a split second of seeing the thimbnail I thought to myself "YO SNOOP'S A PERCUSSIONIST?!"
I love mine more than Popeye Chicken Sammich...
Haha! Not as cool as you!
