Thanks for bringing this product to my attention, I had no idea they made them. With a quick google search I saw a short you tube video on them, pretty amazing! It will be interesting to see if others comment on them.

I am also interested in this thread as the wife and I are expecting a new addition to our family this summer and I am trying to figure out how to continue drumming with a newborn in the house.

I thought I found a deal on the cymbal pack online but it turned out it was a typo with the listing but they honored it anyway so was able to get the pack for 250 bucks which was pretty cool.

With all of the holes in them I thought maybe they would feel fragile but they do not to me anyway. They feel like they can take a beating but there really is no need hit them hard as they just top out on volume pretty quickly at maybe half the effort of smacking a crash during a show.

They look way better then the rubber/plastic electronic drum pads and sound way better and feel more realistic then hitting a cymbal with one of those rubber cymbal mutes laid over the top.

They could probably be used for a small stripped down acoustic practice jam but haven't tried yet.

I use them in the garage. I would think using them in a garage or a room with doors closed should work for most folks. There is still sound so you feed like you are playing, just the volume is way down.

I have been interested in these as well.

My drumgeon is pretty well sound proof but the kick (even the 18) and crashes always penetrate. I can pillow the kick but I also hate the mutes and fake cymbal feel.

Glad to read a positive review.

As to the poster above with the new addition... I'm there now. Throw a sheet over the kit because it'll be a year before you touch them again! Sorry!
