Description

The Evans RealFeel 12 Inch Practice Pad is a dependable, quiet solution for drummers who want to keep their hands in shape anywhere, anytime. Sized to mirror a standard snare, it offers familiar spacing and feel, making it ideal for beginners building fundamentals, returning players rebuilding technique, and working drummers warming up before a set. The responsive surface delivers satisfying rebound without excess volume, so focused practice is possible at home, in rehearsal rooms, or backstage. Whether you are learning rudiments or refining finesse, this pad provides a comfortable, consistent platform that helps you play longer with better control and less fatigue.

Built around a solid wooden base with a single, grey gum rubber surface, the RF12G balances realistic stick response with a controlled, low noise character. The 12 inch size sits perfectly in a standard snare stand basket for a natural playing height, while the octagonal shape adds stability and a classic practice look. Compared with basic Student 1 pads, this model offers a larger playing area, more lifelike rebound, and a sturdier, longer lasting construction. The non slip backing keeps it steady on tables or drum heads, so you can practise confidently wherever you set up.

For UK tuition and school use, the RealFeel pad is a practical choice that supports graded study, ensemble rehearsals, and quiet warm ups without disrupting lessons. Teachers appreciate its reliable feel and durability, while students benefit from a surface that encourages correct technique and dynamic control. At home it is easy to store and quick to deploy, encouraging regular practice routines. Offering excellent value across term time and beyond, the RF12G bridges beginner and intermediate needs with a pad that feels authentic, travels well in a backpack or stick bag, and stands up to daily use in classrooms, practice rooms, and on the go.

Features

Realistic, quiet rebound

The grey gum rubber surface provides a lively yet controlled stick response that feels close to a tuned snare, helping you build speed, dynamics and consistency while keeping volume to a minimum for considerate practice.

Full 12 inch size

With a true 12 inch playing area, the pad matches typical snare dimensions for natural spacing and stick heights, and it drops straight into a standard snare stand basket for authentic setup and posture.

Durable wooden base

A robust wooden core delivers a solid, stable platform that resists warping and daily wear, giving you a dependable surface that stands up to regular practice at home, in school and on the road.

Non slip backing

The underside grips flat surfaces and drum heads to keep the pad steady, so you can focus on your hands without unwanted movement during rudiments, stick control exercises or warm ups.

Portable and versatile

Light enough for a backpack or stick bag yet sturdy for serious use, this pad is equally at home on a desk, a snare drum or a stand, making it a flexible choice for lessons, rehearsals and travel.
