Stagg TD-08R Ten-Sided Desktop Practice Pad For Silent Stick Practice - 8"

brought for a mate as a birthday gift, he uses it daily and hasn't had an issue. would recommend especially for the price!!

Perfect for practice

This is a very good drum practice pad. The bounce is excellent and it is quiter than others I have tried. One problem is that there is a hollow area about an inch across in the centre of the pad, directly above where the screw thread is fitted on the underside. This produces a louder "hollow" noise when hit. If (or rather when, as a corner is loose) the rubber detaches from the base I will fill this hole and have a perfect pad. Why oh why can't Stagg do this in the first place?!

Fantastic piece of kit! Very well made, very sturdy and just the right size, heavy so it doesnt move and the rubber base acts as another playing surface too! Dont let the surface fool you, it looks soft but is actually quite hard (borderline wood like) doesnt quite have the bounce as a soft but still gives a little but very good to play on. But all in all a fantastic pad and for a fantastic price, i checked ebay before this and the prices were ridiculously expensive so the price is ideal. Fantastic Stagg, keep it up.

Realistic bounciness + pretty quiet

We got this for our son's snare drum lessons at School. It's perfect for practicing quietly, and it's easy to fit in a school back pack. Very good quality product. You get a good bounce on it just like a real drum.

Bought this practice pad from a suggestion from my drumming teacher. It is very useful for a beginner like me as it helps to start getting the rhythm correctly

Area in the middle of the pad has an annoying different sound to the rest of the pad, when playing you can hear the differences in sound.

Suficiente para el aprendizaje

I bought this pad because I love my 8" Stagg pad I have from a few years back. This one looks identical but it's not. The rubber is slightly less firm on this new one, which is not the resistance I prefer. But the biggest flaw is something I've read in other complaints: When you strike dead center of the pad, it feels bad. In that center spot, the rubber pad covers a small hole drilled into the wood from under the pad. The top of a cymbal stand can be screwed into that hole. Significantly less resistance, because the rubber is over an air hole. (I bought another to see if it was an isolated defect, but a new pad gave me the same problem. Odd, because my older 8" Stagg pad also has the same hole underneath in the center, but somehow the feel & sound is unaffected.) The end effect is that you try to avoid hitting the center of the pad (which makes absolutely no sense) because the bounce is significantly less, not to mention the sound, which is also different from the rest of the pad. I do not recommend.

It's ok, the silicone is bouncing well, but a bit disappointing that logo just fell off right from the box.

Compatto, ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo e con un buon suono. È restato stupito anche il maestro di batteria!

Have been bringing it with me on my travels to practice. Works as intended.
