"...even if you're good, they still don't like it...and I'm not good". Fantastic. Thanks for the upload!
thanks for the review I live in an apartment I bought these pads and I have had no more complains
No problem! I'm glad they've helped. Also check out the Cymbomute video. They work really well too.
+Chip C OK thank u 👍👍
Thanks for the review because I want the same set for Christmas
Your drums sound awesome!
Thanks! Have to thank the DrumDial, Remo, and of course Tama. That DrumDial really makes it easy to tune to a great sound. You should give it a shot.
I got the family a traps a400 kit for Christmas. It's not too loud and we have no neighbours but I like to diy too. I had a oblong sheet of silicone in the kitchen - some baking accessory or other - I cut a few strips off and lay them over the toms. Worked a treat killing any resonance. Less effective on the snare so maybe I'll cut a bigger size for that. The traps kick already has a towel inside the skins and it's not very loud. I put some strips on my cymbals too and that also worked. I guess they are fairly real feel too as 90% of the skin is still useable. Probably wouldn't work so well on regular drums but ....maybe! Subbed Sir. Thanks.
Nice vid man ✌️
I got the imperialstar kit too, it's awesome
emily medlock I love them. A friend in the industry recommended them as a great “starter kit.”
It drums tuning is wooow
So ... Can I play in apartment with this mute kit?
You should do a comparison immediately while you are at each piece of the kit ie.. play the first tom with the mute on and then take the mute off. Take the crash cymbal and play with the mute on and then immediately take it off and play it
Bret Akins I had planned to do that, but this was my first video ever. I was holding my phone with one hand and hitting the kit with the other. I need to get a better camera setup and I will reshoot the video.
Is the model MUTEPP6 Vic Firth??
Does the mutes on the cymbol s cause any damage to the cymbol s like discoloration or black marks
No, not that I'm aware of, but if you're worried about blemishing brilliant finish cymbals, you can always remove them after use. I would contact Vic Virth.
I actually liked this vid
Robyn Price Thanks! I know the quality wasn’t great, but it was literally the first time I recorded anything drum related.
Does it come with a stick because I’m a beginner sorry (:
Thanks. I have these but after some time, the mutes keep sliding off after a series of strokes. Any way to eliminate this problem. Tks
Just tape them dude
^ Yup. Just need tape
who the heck is vick firth? keep seeing this name for over a year & never seen the person before, only the name
They still sound loud for an apartment! Grrrrrrrrrr
Wait do you get the drum
How is the rebound with these mute pads?
It’s “medium” at best. You’re definitely going to feel the lack of rebound.
yay know i am aloud to get drums
+Itamar elbaz lmao
How does the bass drum pad stay in place?
JR Alliso there is a Velcro patch that attaches to the head and a Velcro patch on the pad.
JR Alliso after months of heavy play, I had to re glue the patch back onto the pad. Only drawback I've had.
Chip C thanks

Awesome video man, thanks for this.
Thank you for tagging the timeline. Very cool. I hope the video helped. I’ll admit this was my first upload ever.
@@Rx_Vitamin_R It helped a lot, I bought these mutes, and yes they're good. Thanks again.
Great vid
But can u play the drums while people on the other room?
Thanks
Yes. My house has almost no insulation and I can play while others in the house are watching television, etc. Unless you are an extremely heavy hitter I do not see where there would be an issue unless you miss hit a cymbal pad.
But here's the question can i remove the mute pads
Giro Masa Yes. Just remove the cymbal clamps and take them off.
@@Rx_Vitamin_R thanks i buy one next year
This is great. I love seeing people take up drums, but hate seeing them start with cheap cymbals! I've almost always had decent cymbals I bought used.
ron levin I’ve upgraded to A Customs.
We've just bought meinl hcs after being let down on some xs20 S/h. The next one's we buy will be really good but everyone gotta start somewhere. This video is about mutes....I doubt your comment stacks up given the ......muting . .on ...display 🤟
Nice kit, but you need to tune those toms up a bit better. Thanks for the demo.
Drums and Cymbals thanks for the view! What in your opinion is wrong?
Chip C, the high tom is good, the the the fist mid tom is sounds wierd, all after that is fine, but I'm pretty sure now that i watch it again it is just because you don't have recording mics, that stuff is hard on your $$$.
Drums and Cymbals yeah this was shot with a phone. Horrible mic.
You are so nice duude
Get those pin stripes off. Coated emperors
Emus or Ambassadors are my next choice. These were my first non factory drum heads. Still experimenting.
Emps
Cool. Yeah u will get more tone. U can always take away with a bit of moongel or tape if u want.
I have Remo rings as my main overtone control, but if that's too much I also have the moongels.
Anything by Evans I'd recommend. Remo is good but they don't have that level 360 technology. That's where the heads sit perfectly on the bearing edge so you don't have to seat the heads yourself. Saves time and effort. Much easier to tune and improved resonance and tone.
Still sounds noisy and annoying
