Evans SoundOff Drum Mute Pad Set Fusion, 8-Pack

I was getting tired of hitting my old electronic kit and wanted to get back to my acoustic kit, but I had the same problem as before - I don't live in a place where I can play at any hour. So, I looked for ways around it, and came across these. Plus: amazing sound control, including the bass and cymbals. Minus: It won't feel like a real kit, but it's the best you can do with the available options. Plus: Cheapest option I could find. Minus: It will cost upwards of $100 to outift a typical kit, assuming you use more than one crash cymbal and/or have additional drums. Plus: It provides a great workout, because almost all the stick bounce is gone. Minus: The workout is so good that you won't be able to play as long as you can on a regular kit. All said, the best compromise I can find.

Nice mute pack. Super simple and does the job. Good stick response. Practice at full strength with a mutiny by the 2 octogenarians in the house (the wife actually doesn’t mind. Not so with the elders). Snare is the loudest. Hard to mute that effectively. Good selection of extra, single mutes if the packs don't cover everything.

The drums head pads are excellent. The pads for the cymbals work as advertised... but I found them to good...

These SoundOff by Evans drum head mufflers do a really great job at reducing how loud my drums are yet still let a little of the drum sound thru, esp the toms. The bass drum muffler is OK but I had to re-glue one part of the rubber where it meets the bass drum beater...not a big deal. The rebound and feel are pretty good...a little bit less rebound than the real heads but it's not like hitting a pillow either. Though they WORK, I wasn't a fan of the cymbal mutes, cuts all the ring off. I ended up buying the Zildjian quiet cymbals I forget the model name. My only negative?? If you put one of these SoundOff by Evans on your snare-drum, just doesn't sound or feel right at all. I ended up buying a 14 inch Aquarian muffler JUST for the snare and it is beyond awesome. Overall though...these Evans mufflers do a good job...there's a tad of some rubber smell but nothing terrible, gets less and less with time...They do the job I'd say.

The fusion set listing, the one with the cymbal mutes, has a 13" tom mute. That is wrong. It comes with a 10" tom mute. The rest of the listing is correct. I ordered an extra 10" mute because of this. The 10" mute works as a cushion on a cajon and a C2 rower.

The kick pad is poorly constructed and will fall apart after one or two practice sessions. I added velcro strips in between the pads where the beater will hit, to reinforce the two pads together. Overall, this will lower the db lvls of your kit enough to not disturb the neighbors ( assuming you live in a house and not in an apartment setting)

Just got this set up. Cut the volume down to a very reasonable level. Stick response is still good, and makes for enjoyable practice without the neighbors complaining. Does what it's supposed to do.

Looks like I'm in the minority, but I was very disappointed in this mute set. Within 2 months the contact pad on the bass mute had come unglued and fallen off. The bounce is completely unrealistic to me, and the pad for my floor tom won't stay put on the head. It keeps wanting to slide off when I play. I wish I could recommend an alternative, but I can't. I wouldn't buy this again given the chance.

Schlagzeug im Reihenhaus, da muss eine Dämmung her ;) natürlich hört sich das Instrument jetzt anders an, aber zum üben für unseren Sohn ist es perfekt und die Lautstärke wird super gedämpft. Der Gummigeruch war anfangs sehr stark, so dass wir die Pads über Nacht mehrmals nach draußen gelegt haben...aber er wird nach einer Woche bereits deutlich weniger!

Disgustados en general, sobre todo por no dominante el ingles y nos hemos llevado una gran decepcion.

確かに、少しは、アタック音が出ますが、予想してたよりは、小さかったです！それぞれの住宅事情にもよると思いますが、うちでは、充分な効果は有りました！叩いた時の反動も、それなりに有ります！材質等よく考えて作られてます！ハイハットのオープン、クローズにも、ちゃんと反応してくれます！

You can still hear enough sound. These mutes muffle great and I’m sure my neighbours appreciate it. Finding the right fit was difficult at first since I bought my daughter’s drums used, so knowing your setup before buying if you don’t have a standard drum kit is a must.

Incredibly easy to put on your kit and it mutes the sound to a respectable level where you might not be expected to need hearing protection. The sound will still be heard across a house but it will be much less thunderous.
