Drum Practice Pad, Donner Drummer Practice Pad - Quiet Drum Pad with Removable Snare Simulation Built-in 800 Steel Balls, Drum Sticks, 40 Standard Rudiments, 12 Inches, White

As a drummer with a mix of stage and garage experience, I’ve gone through a few practice pads over the years—and this one really impressed me. Whether you’re a beginner working on fundamentals or a more advanced player trying to tighten up your rudiments, this pad does exactly what it should.🥁 What Stands Out:• Realistic Rebound: The surface has a natural stick response that feels close to a snare. It’s not too bouncy like some cheaper pads, but not dead either. It gives you a true feel, which is important for developing technique.• Quiet Enough for Late Practice: I’ve used it at night with the family sleeping and no complaints. You get a solid feel and sound feedback without the volume of a real drum.• Non-Slip Backing: The base grips well to most surfaces, whether it’s a table, snare stand, or even my lap. It stays in place while you play, which is huge when you’re running drills.• Durability: After hours of use, it shows no signs of wear or denting. The rubber is dense and resilient—built to last through heavy practice sessions.⸻🔄 Versatility:I’ve been using it with both 5A and 7A sticks, and it responds great either way. I’ve also loaned it to a student who’s just starting out, and they loved it too. It’s a solid option for all experience levels.⸻✅ Final Verdict:If you’re looking for a dependable, high-quality practice pad with a realistic feel, this is an excellent choice. It’s durable, quiet, and responsive—the kind of tool that helps you actually improve without needing a full kit. I highly recommend it for students, hobbyists, or even working drummers who want a portable warm-up option.

The media could not be loaded. BEFORE READING NOTE - I had to contact the Manufacturer to receive my product as it did not show up despite 2 day shipping. Other than that there weren’t any issues, Onto the review(Video is a longer version of this review providing more details, Ignore crazy i look)This is a Durable drum pad with a great feel to it. The beads provide an authentic sound allowing you to actually feel like you’re practicing the drums and not just tapping a pad. Worth the money but the wait was crazy, If you’re looking to practice without allocating the full amount if a drum set then it’s a go. The bag allows you to carry it many places with Straps on the bag to put on your back and Clips to increase portability of the bag, You can take the separate bag for the pad Off or you can keep it there. The sound in the video Does not do the actual pad’s sound justice But the sound of the pad does vary somewhat depending on the surface you’re using. The stand is very solid and if correctly used a Great tool, For other taller people if you chose to stand with it there could be issues but i’ve done it before at 6’1 but primarily use it seated, Cant remember how it was but the stand does go from short to tall based on what the preference of the user is. Overall its function is definitely fulfilled and the quality is on point even down to the box that it was shipped in. The care put into the design of this product is astonishing and its recommended for anybody who’s on the fence to at least order it for a test run as its a wonderful product. Donner does not short people on the quality of their products and shall rightfully boast the products they sell. Overall 10/10 pad, Once again Amazon’s shipping was the primary issue.

Awesome training pad with real steel mount, a snare like sound and a great feal! 100% recommended!

Great Pad great feel, nice snare sound, good rim shots just good variety of sounds and realistic feel all and all makes for a great practice pad and the sticks that come with are slightly larger like a marching snare stick but not as heavy weight wise but it’s good to work out with bigger sticks then go get more finesse with your regular sticks.There’s also a cool cut out in the rim to store the sticks in cool pad 5-stars!!

I played drums many many years ago and fell out of practice. I bought this pad so I could get some time in relearning beats, and it's really done the job. It's pretty firm with a decent bounce back. Definitely good for stamina. The included snare balls really add to the feel of playing a snare while still being pretty quiet. The snare rim really does a great job of simulating a real rim, and it was what sold me on this pad.Pair it with a snare stand for full snare effect, but even without, it's a fantastic practice pad.

Wonderful quality and built tough ! My son loves his drum pad he practices on it every day and it’s not too loud for parents

My son has been playing on these since I bought it. He loves it, feels great according to him. I smack it with the sticks now and then and it bounces similar his snare drum with out the loud bang. I'm not a drummer though. He packs and takes it with him with he visits family and it's held up well with the travel. Even If I had to buy it again at this point, I think we got our value worth of usage.Oh, it fits in his snare drum stand too, so he can stand and practice at the regular height.

Very nice set up for the money! The pad give a very nice snare sound and feel!
