I can’t see that these things would be flying off the shelves? Neat concept but WAY too expensive!!! I’ve only heard these in videos, but they seem really loud?

Plus what they offer just goes on your existing kit so no need for extra stands, pedals, hardware etc.

For what it's worth, I've been using the soft sound beater (the full size one) on my acoustic kit pretty much every day for over a year now I think, and it's pretty good overall. It doesn't feel like a regular beater at all since it's really light and much larger, but it's very quiet compared to a real beater. I wouldn't recommend it to play metal or double pedal but it does the job otherwise. For the rings, I haven't tried the Tama ones specifically, but I tried to make my own using a soundoff mute, it''s not the same thickness but they're a lot cheaper. From my DIY experiment, it doesn't seem to significantly reduces the volume, it's more like a dead/heavily muffled sound. Maybe Tama uses a different kind of material that really works but I'd be sceptical.

With the Tama, you would still have to buy the hardware, and the low volume cymbals. All said and done, you’re looking at about $1000 or more for some plastic and rubber!

What kind of mufflers are those at 4:30? I saw them in another video being put on and taken off the drums but there was no info on them. I want something that'll bring the volume of the drums closer to practice pads and those looked like they might be better at that than the rubber disc mufflers. I wish there was something like the real quiet drum pads that you could put on top of your drums without them bouncing or sliding off. So that's why when I saw those things going over the rims, thought they might be something like that. Has anyone seen something like that?

I love this but : 1) The price is way too high for the kit to not have some sort of practice cymbal included. Given the excellent quality/price ratio of Tama "budget" lines of acoustic drums, I expected the kit to come with the cymbals *and* the hardware. Over 100 bucks for each pad, given they're not electronic, is simply too much, even tho I understand this is a new technology. 2) Why, oh why is that snare drum not available separately...?! Most working drummers like me don't need a full practice kit, just a great practice pad at home + studio rental on the side. In this economy, I even try to only play in clubs that features a proper house kit - and usually they are by far your best bet on getting paid decently anyway. I would be more than content with the snare only. 3) Why not offering an electronic version is beyond me. Piezos are super-cheap and Tama have put more thoughts on engineering those than most compagnies would do an e-kit, or at least give the option. But I appreciate that Tama consistently push innovative ways of making "basic" things like pads and those are sold-out everywhere, so maybe I'm just not the right target audience and drummers who don't have any studio space might perfectly happy with this!

I’ve been a die hard Tama fan for 25+ years. I’ve played many different drum brands over the years but I’ve never spent my own money on anything other than Tama. That being said this practice set is complete trash. The snare drum is the best part and it’s mediocre at best. At least it sounds half way good with the metal beads for a decent snare sound. The toms are completely dead and sound like crap. And the bass drum pad feels nowhere close to the real thing. Not to mention it doesn’t even come with everything you need. Let’s say you already have all the hardware you need with a snare stand, hihat and cymbal stand, bass drum pedal and a throne. Well you still need the cymbals. You can get the Zildjian L80 ride crash and hihat set for like $400 and the set is $500-600. So you are looking at $900-1000 if you already have all the hardware. Or you can get the Zildjians used for like $225-250. Even then you are going to spend $725-850. All for a set that doesn’t feel or sound anything like a real acoustic set. Just doesn’t seem worth it in my opinion.
