They don't fit as well as the videos make you think. I have been back and forth with the manufacturer, and they have been rude and unhelpful. I have the "correct" type of rims on my drums, and they do not snap into place as they should. One of them does - the snare, but the others do not. They just sort of sit there, and they bounce when you play. If you look closely at the videos on the manufacturer's website - it shows them bouncing there as well! I mentioned that to their "customer service" rep, and the next day, that video showing that was taken down! Of course, lol. I just passed them off to a student - but these are not a professional level product.

These sound deafening drum heads are a stellar product. Excellent quality, perfect fit, and most importantly they negate a very large amount of noise. Way more than I was expecting, which is so great for me. I was going back and forth on purchasing them because I was unsure if it was a gimmick or not, and it definitely is not. I only wish I’d have found them sooner. I’m really impressed.

These do not reduce 80% of sound in my experience. I’d say more like 50%. Not ideal for an apartment as I was expecting. Very expensive for it not to work as advertised.

This product was designed to lower the volume of drums when you play but for me they ruin the joy of playing. Plus to get a good sound I’m supposed to by more expensive equipment and I can’t afford it.

The combination of volume reduction while retaining tone and feel is very strong. I'm extremely pleased with my purchase in terms of product performance. I've tried out Silent Strokes, but these feel much more realistic.Of note is that the kick drum pad I received in this set fits *inside* the hoop and requires no strap, which I consider a big win. This differs from older versions (which required a strap), but I think also from the other version that's sold individually (which snaps on *over* the hoop).I just received mine, so the biggest lingering question will be durability. But if these last at least a couple of years, I'd likely make the same purchase again down the line, unless a way better alternative is invented. If they last 5+, I'd say they're a steal.
