Evans RealFeel 6" One Sided Practice Pad: Portable, Realistic, and Quiet Practice

The Evans RealFeel 6" One Sided Practice Pad offers drummers a compact yet highly effective platform to hone their skills anytime, anywhere. Engineered by Evans, a leader in drumhead technology (part of the D'Addario family), this pad provides an exceptionally realistic stick rebound and effective sound dampening, making it an indispensable tool for discreet and consistent practice.

Authentic Feel with Durable Gum Rubber Surface

The playing surface of the RealFeel 6" pad is made from natural gum rubber. This material is meticulously chosen and formulated to provide:

• Realistic Stick Rebound: It offers a consistent and authentic bounce that closely mimics the feel of a tensioned acoustic drumhead. This is crucial for developing proper stick control, dynamics, and muscle memory that seamlessly translates to playing on a real drum kit.

• Exceptional Sound Dampening: The gum rubber effectively absorbs much of the stick impact noise, resulting in a significantly reduced volume. This makes it ideal for practicing in shared living spaces, apartments, hotel rooms, or any environment where quiet practice is essential.

• Durability: The playing surface is designed to withstand countless hours of repetitive strokes, ensuring a long lifespan for the pad.

Sturdy Base with Non-Slip Design and Mounting Capability

The rubber playing surface is mounted on a solid, durable wooden base (often MDF), which provides stability and a firm foundation for the pad.

For versatile practice scenarios, the pad features:

• Non-Slip Dark Gray Fabric Base: The underside of the pad is covered with a dark gray fabric that is textured to provide a non-slip grip. This ensures that the pad remains stable and doesn't slide around when placed on a tabletop, desk, or other flat surfaces, allowing for uninterrupted practice.

• 8mm Threaded Insert: A key feature for drummers who prefer an ergonomic setup, the RealFeel 6" pad is equipped with a standard 8mm threaded insert on the bottom. This allows it to be securely mounted onto most standard cymbal stands or dedicated practice pad stands, enabling practice at a comfortable height and angle, simulating a real drumming posture.

Compact Size for Maximum Portability

With its 6-inch diameter, this practice pad strikes an excellent balance between a comfortable playing area and extreme portability:

• Travel-Friendly: Its compact size and lightweight design make it exceptionally easy to transport. It fits effortlessly into most stick bags, backpacks, or even a gig bag, making it a favorite for drummers who need to warm up or practice on the go.

• Sufficient Playing Area: Despite its smaller footprint, it provides enough space for focused rudiment practice, single-stroke rolls, and building finger/wrist technique.

The Evans RealFeel 6" One Sided Practice Pad is a top-tier choice for drummers who demand quality, realism, and convenience in their practice tools.
