Remo SilentStroke Practice Pad Review

[@danielp4355]

If you find it too loud then cover it with a kitchen towel (one or two layer, its up to you) and it takes the high frequencies away, so the pad became much more quiet.

3:34 that thumb bend 😂

[@StarWarsMeerkat--James]

Hahahaha! I have no idea why that happened xD Did I dislocate my thumb for a second

[@JohnnyAvram]

hahahaha

[@rickzepeda5518]

Played this today and sounds loud on here..maybe the mic. BUT this pad is pretty quiet. Felt the stick bounced easy on this compared to reel feel evans pad.

[@MigzMigz35]

Does that pad have more rebound then the regular remo pad?

[@StarWarsMeerkat--James]

On the whole it has less rebound because it's a mesh-textured pad with a foam centre to it underneath the mesh. The great thing is, you can tighten the mesh head so you can vary the rebound to your fancy.

[@jeremiahdavis7904]

I personally removed the foam and tightened it until it felt adequately tight and responsive. Improves the feel 10x

[@michaelgallardomusic]

Are they normally pretty "tubby" sounding out of the box? Mine has some deep frequencies when I play it sitting on my bed

[@Zacknorris-d5p]

Can this be mounted in a regular snare stand?

[@garrettanderson2452]

Yes

[@StarWarsMeerkat--James]

As @Garrett Anderson says, it can be mounted to a snare drum stand. Remo designed it to be mountable to a cymbal stand mainly I believe.. but anyway :)

[@garrettanderson2452]

@StarWarsMeerkat well said

[@alexcarter8807]

Looks like the same damn pad I have here in the States, they just call them "tunable" not "silentstroke".

[@johnnybgoode2333]

Silent stroke is the type of head. These tunable pads are available with multiple heads.

[@Skeletonful007]

Me too , here from hk

[@fredileyva1948]

you can also use a tripod for a camera

[@StarWarsMeerkat--James]

That's true actually, has been really handy at times! Although it's worth noting that when using a tripod (depending on the model obviously) the tripod itself can make quite a bit of noise when you hit the pad. Not a huge issue but a noticable step up sometimes from the quiet pad

[@EveryDaySlacker]

Bring your stick height down to under six inches and you'll see vast improvements.

[@StarWarsMeerkat--James]

Thanks for the advice I'll give it a go. May I ask what help you think it provides?

[@jeremiahdavis7904]

It provides a lot more stability in rolls and better articulation

[@Lehmann108]

Way too loud for a practice pad.

[@StarWarsMeerkat--James]

Well obviously not; it's perhaps the quietest practice pad on the market.

[@alensiljak]

This is not their regular practice pad, which is dreadfully loud. This one uses a mesh head.

[@AcousticAdd1ct]

That rubber base is making it loud. I still prefer wood base practice pad
