at hotel and other travel. It fits perfect on most hotel ice buckets. slightly too small for knee but you can. The 2nd side is cork I think and I don't drum on it the wood is I think particle board, nothing fancy, not finished and prob doesn't like water. I think I'd get bigger size if not travel and getting the two sided version not a huge benefit. rebound is excellent. and it does stay put.
I think this is best option for travel and hotel. go bigger if not travelling.

1. Realistic Feel: True to its name, the RealFeel pad lives up to its promise of a "real" drumming experience. The gum rubber surface feels remarkably close to the rebound of an actual drumhead. This makes it an excellent choice for honing drumming technique and building muscle memory.
2. Single-Sided Design: The single-sided design of the practice pad is practical and functional. It provides a consistent playing surface, allowing me to focus on my strokes without having to adjust to different textures.
3. Stand Mountable: The fact that this practice pad is stand mountable is a game-changer. It's compatible with standard snare drum stands, which means you can set it up at the perfect height and angle for comfortable and effective practice.
4. Durability: I've found the Evans RealFeel pad to be quite durable. It can withstand hours of practice without showing significant signs of wear and tear. This durability ensures that it will be a long-lasting addition to my drumming setup.
5. Reduced Volume: If you're concerned about noise levels while practicing, this practice pad offers a quieter alternative to an acoustic drum. It's perfect for late-night or apartment practice sessions when you need to keep the noise down.
6. Excellent for Rudiments: Whether you're working on basic rudiments or more complex drumming patterns, this practice pad provides the responsiveness needed for precise practice and improvement.
7. Portable: Its compact size and lightweight design make it highly portable. It's easy to carry to rehearsals or gigs when you want to warm up or practice on the go.
In conclusion, the Evans RealFeel Drum Practice Pad is an excellent tool for drummers looking to improve their skills and technique. Its realistic feel, durability, and stand-mountable design set it apart as a valuable practice accessory. While I've had a positive experience with this pad, I'm giving it four stars instead of five because I believe there's always room for improvement, and there might be even more exceptional practice pads on the market. Nonetheless, it's a solid choice for drummers seeking a quality practice pad to enhance their drumming abilities.
