I decided to try this Vic Firth pack, and I'm very glad I did.
First, lets get through the potential negatives: There will obviously still be some noise, as there has to be enough volume to allow you to hear the difference in tone between the drums. I'd say the noise reduction is 75% to 80% on the toms and bass, 90-95% on the cymbals (80-90 on high-hat), and 60% on the snare (unless you disable the snare mechanism, then it's the same reduction as the toms). This is perfectly acceptable to me, as it really is difficult to hear the drums being played 2 or more rooms away and even though they're still audible from a room away, even the lightest sleeper would still be able to fall asleep.
There is slightly less stick response, which is impossible to get around. I actually view this as a positive as I imagine everyone who uses this product will be using it to practice, and having less bounce forces you to focus on your technique a little bit more.
Finally, I can imagine that the product will start to wear down after a while. It's inevitable with anything to do with drums. I imagine that intense drumming and heavy hitting will wear them down in 6-9 months (especially the snare), but standard drummers will probably get a lot more use out of them.
Everything else about this product is absolutely fantastic. They're supremely easy to install, they look great, they're big enough on the cymbals to not have to worry about missing, and they fit all their respective drums perfectly. The noise reduction is better than what I was expecting, and they still allow you to hear the various tones of the respective drums, which is very important.
I would definitely buy this product again.
I have more drums and cymbals on my kit than just the sizes provided, but they are a perfect fit for: 14" snare, 12/13/16" toms, 22" bass, 14" hi-hats, 16" crash, 20" ride. I didn't have to cut them to size or modify the mute pads in any way. From box to drum and done.
- The hi-hat is perfect, just close your hi-hat and lock it in place and you'll get no noise (seems obvious, huh?).
- The snare is muted enough that it still sounds like a snare but 1/10th the sound (not an exact audio output measurement, I'm using that ratio for illustrative purposes).
- The toms are muted to the point where you almost can't tell a tone difference.
- The crash and ride mutes are a perfect fit for my 16" crash and 20" ride and I can still tell them apart.
- The bass is muted enough that I'm sure if you put this on the first floor, no one would know you were playing. I'm on the second floor so people can hear the light tapping and the foot step of the bass but not the sound of the drums themselves. One person said it's almost if I'm tapping my hands on my knees and stomping my foot.
BL: If you're looking for a muting system, this is the product for you.
I read someone's review who went berserk about the smell. All I have to say is that the smell isn't as bad as that person made it out to be (a bit melodramatic about it if you ask me). And the other thing is... oh ya: You are buying a rubber padded muting system - so heads up... they are going to smell like rubber.
The sound is definitely different. All the drums sound as if they've been tuned down to a much lower pitch. The snare mute is my least favorite, and I've stopped using it. Instead, I'm just using a standard square mouse pad on the snare -- but striking the actual drum head. That provides just about as much damping and has a truer sound. The kick drum mute sounds best -- it brings the volume way down and it still sounds like a kick drum. The cymbal mutes are okay, but I don't use them much as the cymbal sound doesn't carry too much into my next door neighbors' houses. For full cymbal muting, play on the pad. For a better sound with much less muting, put the pad on but play on the cymbal.
The feel is also definitely different. If you're a four-on-the-floor heavy hitter, you might not mind. But you won't get nearly as much stick bounce off these pads as off the drum head. Also, there's a bit of "grab" you'll feel if you don't hit straight on. I feel this as I move around the toms quickly. So they're not probably not best for working on that jazz solo, but for practicing pattens and basic fills, these pads will do the trick.

Meine einzige Angst, dass alle Drums gleich klingen wurde nicht bestätigt. Man hört ganz klar die unterschiedlichen Toms bzw. Snare und Bass. Es ist halt alles einfach erheblich leiser.
Ganz genau das, was die Pads versprechen. Ideal fürs Üben in der Wohnung.
El sonido si baja considerablemente pero perfecto para practicar sin molestar al vecino
