Evans SoundOffs -vs- dB Ones & Other Drum Muting

[@evypun7930]

Exactly the review I was looking for. Thanks!

If you need really low volume they are the ticket. But if you just want to knock the harsh sharp loud edge off your drums I highly recommend using toolbox drawer liner found at lowes and cutting your own. See previous video. I needed more volume for my personal satisfaction and I've switched back to regular heads and the toolbox liners I made.

This video was great, thank you for doing the comparison! I have soundoffs, which I like, but they robbed me of too much tone (especially on the low tom). My current solution is to use quiet cymbals with a moon gel on them, helps to cut down the brightness and volume a bit. Using the db ones for the toms, and a double ply mesh head for the snare since I didn't care for the db one snare sound. My kick is just stuffed with pillows. This set up allows me to practice alone without being too loud, but loud enough that I can jam with my friends without them having to crank their amplifiers for the whole neighborhood to hear.

This review helped me a lot. Thanks for sharing!

so if I use the Evans Pads or even the Vic Firth pads, what if i just use 2 right on top of each other? That would dampen the noise even more I assume??

For the bass drum, I've found that the Evans SoundOff Bass Mute combined with the TAMA Soft Sound Beater BSQ10S reduces the bass drum volume even more. The beater looks a bit ridiculous but it feels close enough to a regular one for practice purposes.

How is the rebound for you,isnt it too bouncy ?

[@isaacgarza2727]

Would either these be good for apartment playing?

The SoundOffs would be your lowest volume for certain. Add a rug and you are golden. When you miss the tone... go with the DbOnes.
