Vic Firth Drum Mute (MUTEPP7)

After moving from a place where sound was no issue to a townhouse with neighbors living on both sides of me it was evident that I needed a way to turn down the volume on my drums or simply not play. While I just didn't play for a while I knew I that wouldn't last long. These are great. The drop sound down almost to the point where I could play at any hour of the day (haven't risked it yet but may try). Cymbals have a really quick noise to them and then they're quite. Toms are really muted. Base is nicely muted. Only issue that I have is the sound that the snare makes. If you have your snare on, the mute doesn't do much. For that reason I simply play with the snares off. Yes its not the same but I would rather keep playing vs anger my neighbors. Regardless, good buy if you want to keep the drum noise to a min.

Got my muters 2 moths ago and this is what i think about them: 1.- The kick drum is really a good muter, it also feels resistent and may last long if your not a blaster or hit really hard on it, id say the bass drum mutes about 80% of the sound. 2.- The Toms muter are in my opinion the best in the kit, they really mute ALOT of the sound, like 90-95%, feels a bit louder than hitting the drum chair with stick. 3.- The snare one is not really what i expected, it reduces a bit of the sound but there is alot of resonance coming out of it, so its like 50-60% reduction. I'm using currently Evans 2-Sided Practice Pad, 12 Inch which is the best for practice and the noise is almost unnoticeable. Took the snare muter and placed it between both cymbals in the hihat. 4.- The hi-hat one is not THAT good, it does its job if the hihat is closed, but if u want to play open patterns it gets useless, so i'm using the SoundOff by Evans Hi-Hat Mute, 14 Inch combined with the snare in the middle and its a perfect match, and using this hihat muter as a crash muter for 14-16" cymbals, only downside is that since the cymbals rotate, sometimes you need to place it back in middle playing or else it's going to sound like hitting a piece of wood with the stick. 5.- The Ride cymbal is the best one of the cymbals, 80-90% reduction and actually not much to complain about it, but same problem with hi hat, because the cymbals rotate and it's anyoning to hit the cymbal and not the muter. 6.- Crash ones, they do reduce same as the ride if you play with the tip on the body, BUT since you don't do that on a crash cymbal, it gonna sound like 40-50% of the original sound without muter, but it last a quarter of second, and only posible way of it to not happen is if all the cymbal was covered up in a mutter... the one in this pack fits 16" cymbals, but dont worry if you have a bigger size one, just make another hole in the top of the original and this will work up to a 19" cymbal. Same problem with other cymbals about rotation. In general this a good deal for the price, and it will take another method of muting for cymbals in order to beat this kit. So go ahead and buy one!

Ok, sooooo my fiancé has been dying to play his drums he just got back, and we also live on in an apartment. We waited Monday to Friday. I am in love with how he’s able to play now and I’m not worried about the neighbors saying anything. It’s really so quiet. He likes to play to songs with his head phones in so these are great for what he does! I love them! Would totally recommend!

I was expecting the 20" bass drum pad, so I had to trim an inch off all around the 22" to make it fit, and then relocate the velcro pad with new double-sided tape. This particular listing is not very clear about the size. But besides that all was good and in perfect condition. These mutes cut the volume of everything by a large amount. The exceptions are hi-hat chicks and splashes, which are still very loud because there is no mute on the bottom hat cymbal. The snares are loud unless you throw them off, but I put my Vic Firth practice pad on the top of the snare drum and am able to get a quiet snare-on sound that way. Vic Firth Drum Set Mute Prepack

Brought two of them, one of them arrived used but all pads were in. The other one got delayed for 5 days, arrived used again, and only one kcik drum mute in it and I ended out returning it. What a watse of time.

Not a fan of these mutes. Mostly because you have to stick the bass drum mute on with velcro. Changes the sound of the bass drum all because of a few strips of velcro. Not cool.

Ok, so its great, does its job, but it actually muted my toms to the point that they don't even sound like toms anymore. Like, all I can hear is rubber with a bit of overtone. However, my snare, crashes, hi-hat, and bass drum all sound fine. Its just my floor tom and the other two that have absolutely no sound. The hi-hat really doesnt mute it that much, but it doesnt make too much noise anyways so thats a plus. The crash mutes, but the sound obviously won't hold for that long, cuz its basically in a state of being partially choked forever. So yea, a three star. I like what it did, just not for all the drums.

They do what I needed them to do. They mute the drums so that you don't disturb everyone in the house or neighbors. The drums still have a tone to them which is great. The cymbals are decently muted, but the sound is a dull metallic thud. This is not a big issue for me. The top high hat is muted well , but the bottom still sloshes if you play open or partially open. Over all me and my eyes wife are very pleased and now I don't have to fork out $1000+ on an electric set. With this package I received the 22" kick mute which is great for me cause my kick is "22.

Las uso en una Tama Club Jam, aunque la del Redoblando tuve que adaptarla porque quedo muy grande, me funciono bastante bien... el unico detalle que le encuentro es al del bombo, no se engancha bien y termina siendo un problema.

Prodotto che rispetta quello per cui è progettato. Le sordine si adattano perfettamente a tutti gli elementi. Nel mio caso un pò meno alla Grancassa, nonostante la misura si giusta. Smorzano effettivamente il suono, forse anche troppo, soprattutto sui Tom, sul Timpano e su Crask e Ride. Un pò meno su rullante, gran cassa e charleston. Il grande "difetto" è che quando si suona con le sordine, la risposta al rimbalzo sulle bacchette si perde, ma è il naturale compromesso.

Me está dando muy buen resultado,tengo una escuela de música y me hablaron de ellas y la verdad no me han decepcionado

Perfect for my daughter to play. Drums are in livingroom, now she can play without disturbing the rest of the house plus makes her feel more comfortable practicing. The rubber smell was quite strong for about a week, but it has tapered off.
