Evans RF-12G Practice Pad Reviews

A great drum-pad

Has nice rebound for practising. Solid manufacture. I highly recommend it.

Solid

Quality

This thing weighs a ton and i could probably deflect bullets with it.

playability

There are some dead spots on the pad which make it hard to get rebound in some cases. On non dead areas the rebound is plentiful.

If you buy this, make sure to buy some sort of snare stand for it so you can angle it a bit and don't have to rely on boxes or chairs to support it.

Great practice pad

Nice practice pad, accurate feel. The plywood is pretty much untreated so be careful with water!

Ideal

Good feeling when playing. Fine rebounce. Good silent pad to practise.

Excellent Practice Pad !

Evans never disappoint, very good practice pad

Pros : practice rudiments for hours without bothering your neighbours

Cons : A little too bouncy , does not perfectly simulate a snare drum or tom feeling, but still will help you get faster on the kit.

Evans RF-12G Practice Pad

It seems there's a bit too much bounce.

(... I would have liked slightly less bounce ...)

The sound level "left over" is very little, less compared with practice pads on a table: happy neighbours.

The product looks cheap: the "wood" is no wood but looks like compressed cardboard with some sawdust mixed-in: cheap.

Overall it's ok. Not great: does what is has to do, and the extra bounce is an extra challenge.

Has not a real feel, but it's good for begginers. Too much bouncing. A little bit expensive and heavy, but the finishes are great.

This is really a good practice pad

Nice "easy" rebound to further improve 1 fine tune stick handling skills. Easy to take away for traveling.

My favourite practice pad.

I really like this pad - the 12'' size makes it very handy to use by just putting it on a snare drum or in a snare drum stand, the sound of it is very precise and warm - it's a joy to practice on. It's not annoying at all. Hear that, neighbors? Not annoying. AT ALL. Calm down.

The feel is great as well - a great amount of bounce from the rubber surface.

Recommended!

Good practice pad.

insane rebound. very good for learning technique, very good size. The single con i found is the weight which is very heavy

The classic practice pad !

Good rebound without feeling unrealistic, portable and lightweight...what more to say ?

It's the classic practice pad !

Best pad ever

The best practice pad there is. Build quality is excellent, it will last a lifetime it seems and it is very silent unlike other pads i tried :) you won't regret buying it and you probably won't ever need anything else ;)

The perfect tool

The HQ Percussion practice pad is the perfect tool for all drummers out there. Its unique design is simple, portable and comfortable. It is light and easy to store. The practice pad can be mounted on any snare stand or even just played on your knees for a quick practice run. Great tool to improve your playing techniques and warming up before gigs. I would totally recommend it to all as you CANNOT go wrong.

10/10

That is my second practice pad an its wary handy

I like the sound and even my wife likes it ;)

HQ Percussion RF-12G Practice Pad has wary natural

snare feel and its must have for inprooving your dumming!

Best practice pad at the moment

If you're a drummer, starting from beginner til pro's - get one of these.

This is best practice pad at the moment, the feel is perfect, everything is top-notch.

It is very large and I love it, I use it all the time - practicing at home, warming up before rehearsals and live gigs.

It is a bit pricey for a silly pad, but trust me, you can't go wrong with these, your favorite drummer uses this too!

Pure exercising satisfaction

This pad is Awesome.

Perfect for practice, the rebound is so good you ENJOY it.

Raises your level and makes exercise less boring, and somehow fun.

I also noticed a huge increase in satisfaction with students: I bought two of them to give lessons.

Recommended. If not this, take the two sided one.

Careful: no mount under it, it's just flat wood with some rubber to isolate vibration if you put it on a table (my guess)

Great

A good deal for a simple pad. I use it daily.

Fantastic practice pad

The HQ Percussion RF-12G Practice Pad is your perfect companion when it comes to practicing with no drum kit available. It's very durable and traces of wearout are really little even after a longer period of time. The rebound is great but maybe a little to strong which makes it great for practicing but its feel is quite a bit different from a regular drum. I mostly use the pad for warming up before playing with the band and therefore it serves its purpose very well. The pad should also fit on every regular snare stand and also fits perfectly on a 13" snare drum.

Reel Feel? At least it's pretty close to it...

I just love the size of that thing. I used to practice with one of the smaller versions which really helped me with my overall "hitting-accuracy", but somehow I could not get used to the small pads slowly starting to move across the tabletop while you're trying to focus on your doubles or diddles. This is why I really appreciate the size and weight of this '12"-monster'! You can even mount it on (nearly) every kind of snare drum stand. It has just the right amount of rebound to simulate a fairly tensed batter head or a cymbal. Just great. Could be a little bit more 'noiseless' for my taste, anyway: one of the best practice pads I've ever had, concerning quality, size and rebound behaviour!

Great product

Defently the greatest practice pad for all drummers. The 12" inches is good for starters.Its a must for starting your drumm practice. If u are not a new drummer, try the smaller one (easier to carry with you on your live performances)
