RTOM 12" Black Hole Practice Pad

This pad feels very natural, the mesh is very thick and resistant.
The mesh is not touching the actual head of the drum, but somehow the drum will make the same sound, but with less volume.
The volume is not like whispering, but it is manageable also in an apartment. Plus, the dynamics are good.
This is one of the best solutions for practicting.
Overall, it is a little bit costly, but does what it promises.

I've used hard pads, mesh heads and an electronic kit for practice. None have quite worked for me These pads are ideal. A set of these, coupled with the Thomann/Millenium "Still" quiet cymbals (more affordable than the Zildjian range) the volume of the kit is reduced by 80% with very good feel. The pads are easy to remove when the kt is needed for gigs. Highly recommended.

The selling point of this head is that it “snaps” on you hoop, unfortunately it doesn’t, it takes a lot of force to put this on and even after you put it on it doesn’t sound pleasant at all, this would be great for someone who triggers their drums, or for those who want to practice without any sort of good tone, you might as well buy you one of those silent heads since they’re cheaper and probably have more tone.

The heads do exactly what they should! Easy to use and install and use👍🏻
Thomann delivery was excellent!👍🏻🤘🏻
