Practice makes perfect. The only things standing between you and greatness are an ounce of talent and hours of refinement. And with this practice pad bundle from Sweetwater, you've got all you need to polish your chops, quietly, at home, in the practice rooms, and on the road. We love the 12" Evans RealFeel pad for its responsive rebound and low-output response. The 12" size translates well to kit applications as well as marching snares and tenors. Dual surfaces on this pad ? one soft gum, the other hard rubber ? allow drummers to tailor their sound and response to solo practice and ensemble warm-ups. Also included in this bundle are a high-performance adjustable snare stand and throne from PDP, a wearable Soundbrenner tactile metronome so you can stay in the groove without damaging your hearing (or relationships), and a pair of 5A hickory Promark drumsticks for great performance right out of the box. Sweetwater invites drummers everywhere to take their playing to daring new heights with our exclusive Evans RealFeel practice bundle.

Evans RealFeel 2-sided Practice Drum Pad - 12 inch


Sells separately for $39.99





The Evans 12-inch RealFeel 2-sided practice pad promises a low-noise and responsive practice solution. This pad features a large playing surface for comfort and accurate performance translation from the trap kit to the competition field. It also fits inside most standard snare stands for seated and standing performance convenience. If you want a realistic playing feel, one side of the Evans 12-inch RealFeel features a quiet natural gum playing surface, which responds much the way a drumhead does. The other side is made out of harder recycled rubber for added bounce, output, and articulation. Both for solo and ensemble practice sessions, you'll get a real workout with the Evans 12-inch RealFeel 2-sided practice pad from Sweetwater.

Soundbrenner Pulse Vibrating Metronome


Sells separately for $119.00





Practicing to a metronome is foundational to understanding rhythm and developing one's inner musician. It's also a core part of the modern recording process. The Soundbrenner Pulse is a tactile alternative to audible metronomes and click tracks, enabling live performers and session players to stay keyed in to their environment without losing time. Multiplayer sync over Bluetooth tightens up technical ensemble arrangements. And major DAW integration (macOS only) feeds tempo tracks directly to the Pulse for rock-solid drum tracks and guitar takes. Two included bands, one long and one short, give players the option to wear the Soundbrenner Pulse on the arm or leg.
