Review: Recommend! - Great quality pad, moving from a cheap offbrand one. rebound is amazing, very similar to a real snare. It feels great to practice on without all the noise. And overall just looks great!
Review: must-have for any drummer - perfect size if you need to practise stick technique; the smaller diameter will force you to play on spot in the center. One side is the normal dense rubber pad surface with a medium rebound, the other, darker side has a slightly coarser rubber surface with a harder rebound. I like both. The weight is great to put down on one knee, couch, table, floor - whatever you like to practise on, the double-sided pad might be a bit heavy to take on travels as I tend to travel light (0,5kg). I use a rubber mat without the wood for travels (weighing only a few grammes). Must have for drummers - beginners or pros.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very bouncy, excellent feel, much better than banging on the kitchen table..
*by M***L on 22 August 2018*

I bought this (12") version as it had been recommended by someone who has been drumming for over 50 years. Having previously been practicing on anything around the house (tables, opened Amazon parcel boxes, the sofa etc) I felt the time had come to buy something 'proper' upon which to practice. It's very well constructed with a wooden frame, non slip base and very bouncy gum / foam practice surface. Within minutes of unboxing, my son who is already a pretty good drummer, was using it to hammer out rudiments. It actually seems good enough to have got him to drop the controls to fortnite and spend time practicing rather than running around flossing for hours on end! Seemingly well made and the teacher who had recommended it had one that has been in use 'for years' so hopefully this will last as long. Feedback off the surface is excellent and you get much more rebound than you can normally find off other household implements. It's not the cheapest but as I said it came highly recommended and I'm very happy with it.
