Vic Firth Mute Prepack 6 (MUTEPP6): Quiet Practice for Full Drum Kits

The Vic Firth Mute Prepack 6 (MUTEPP6) is an essential accessory for any drummer needing to practice on their acoustic drum set at a much lower volume. This comprehensive pack provides mutes for a standard drum kit configuration, allowing drummers to maintain their technique and feel without the loud output of unmuted drums. Made from high-quality, non-slip rubber, these mutes offer a realistic stick response while drastically cutting down on noise, making them perfect for home practice, apartment living, or late-night sessions.

Key Features for Effective Silent Practice

The MUTEPP6 pack is designed for ease of use and maximum sound reduction across the entire drum kit:

• Comprehensive Set of Mutes: The "Prepack 6" refers to the comprehensive collection of mutes included, covering the most common drum and cymbal sizes. A typical pack includes:

  • 10" Tom Mute

  • 12" Tom Mute

  • 14" Floor Tom Mute (can also be used for a 14" snare)

  • 16" Floor Tom Mute

  • 22" Bass Drum Mute

  • Hi-Hat Mute (fits common hi-hat sizes)

  • 2 Cymbal Mutes (designed for crash/ride cymbals, fitting a range of sizes like 16"-18" and 20"-22")

• Non-Slip Pure Rubber Construction: Each mute is made from non-slip pure rubber. This material ensures the mutes stay firmly on the drumheads and cymbals during playing, preventing them from sliding off. The rubber also provides a realistic rebound and stick feel, allowing drummers to maintain proper technique even at reduced volumes.

• Significant Sound Attenuation: The primary function of these mutes is to drastically attenuate the sound of an acoustic drum set. They allow drummers to practice with almost no audible volume, making it possible to play in noise-sensitive environments like apartments, dorms, or shared living spaces.

• Dual Functionality (Mute & Practice Pad): While designed as mutes to sit on drumheads, these pads are versatile. When placed on a hard, flat surface, they can also double as thin, lightweight, and convenient practice pads, offering a different feel for stick practice. Stacking two drum mutes together can even create a softer, "mushier" practice surface.

• Durable and Long-Lasting: Made from robust rubber, these mutes are built to withstand repeated use and the impact of drumsticks, ensuring long-term durability.

• Easy to Install and Remove: The mutes simply lay on top of the drumheads and cymbals, making them quick and easy to set up and remove.

The Vic Firth Mute Prepack 6 is an excellent investment for drummers who want to practice regularly on their acoustic kit without causing disturbance, offering a practical, durable, and effective solution for volume control.
