- This is my review of the Remo SilentStroke practice pad. In this video I attempt to outline the most important points one might want to know before purchasing this product.
Apologies for the hissing in the sound I will probably redo it at some point :)
If you have any questions please feel free to comment below.

3:34 that thumb bend 😂
Hahahaha! I have no idea why that happened xD Did I dislocate my thumb for a second
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.
Are they normally pretty "tubby" sounding out of the box? Mine has some deep frequencies when I play it sitting on my bed
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.
Does that pad have more rebound then the regular remo pad?
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.
I personally removed the foam and tightened it until it felt adequately tight and responsive. Improves the feel 10x
Can this be mounted in a regular snare stand?
Yes
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 :)
@StarWarsMeerkat well said
you can also use a tripod for a camera
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
Looks like the same damn pad I have here in the States, they just call them "tunable" not "silentstroke".
Silent stroke is the type of head. These tunable pads are available with multiple heads.
Me too , here from hk
Bring your stick height down to under six inches and you'll see vast improvements.
Thanks for the advice I'll give it a go. May I ask what help you think it provides?
It provides a lot more stability in rolls and better articulation
Way too loud for a practice pad.
Well obviously not; it's perhaps the quietest practice pad on the market.
This is not their regular practice pad, which is dreadfully loud. This one uses a mesh head.
That rubber base is making it loud. I still prefer wood base practice pad
