Adoro Silent Sticks - Drum Sticks Designed for Live Acoustic Music - Reduce the Volume of any Drum Set and Maintain a Full Stick Sound - No more Drum Shield or Dampeners needed - SSX (1 Pair)

I set up an acoustic drum set for my son in the basement, and was way too loud for my wife. The sounds reverberated through the whole house. I was desperate to to damper not only the toms, kick and snare but the also the cymbals were killing us. I got a set of Eastrock Drum mute padshttps://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BBG834QC?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_titlethat included cymbal mutes. They were great for the toms and even the kick but the snare and cymbal dampeners left much to be desired. The cymbal pads made the cymbals sound clanky and totally took the dynamics out of the cymbals. I saw a set of Low Volume Cymbal Pack Mute Cymbal Set https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08FT13ZMD?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1but was very skeptical for the $60 price. I figured they would sound terrible and damage quickly. To my surprise they sounded great! I prefer them to our Zildjian ZBT set we have. Nice sizzle and dynamics at half the noise level. We also paired them with a set of Adoro Silent Stickshttps://www.amazon.com/dp/B094YJ9SCG?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_titleand we are very pleased. The sticks significantly reduce the sound and have great feel and rebound. As far as the snare goes, my son just covers with a t shirt and with the sticks, it really helps the volume without sacrificing the feel. Still working on this and will update if I find a good solution for the snare. I'm hoping these Sticks will last! I paid about $136 for all three (pad, Mute cymbals and silent sticks) and was money well spent. Get the combo, you won't be disappointed!

It did quiet my drumming a little. I like it for the the length of the stick and lightness.

Expensive, works great, but plastic breaks

These sticks indeed make your overall volume lower but if you have an over-zealous player who forgets these sticks are not made of wood or some acrylic that withstands 2 ton blunt force trauma, then these sticks will break like my 1st marriage.

We needed sticks that could play quieter for smaller venues. We got a bunch of quiet sticks and this is the one we all like the best. I was sure they would break soon but after months in use, they are very durable, good sounding and they have a great feel.

I'm not a hard-hitting player by any means, but the tip of one of these came off (which was messy, it went everywhere) within 5 minutes of me first playing with them.Before they broke, they were actually working fantastically. They were comfortable to hold, not too light, and did a fantastic job controlling volume. Just super disappointed with the durability.

I was excied to try these sticks as I liked the promise of 50% decress in volume. After about 5-6 times of practicing with these sticks the Loop at he top of one of the sticks jumped out of the stick. How frustrating! Now if I TRY to practice with them I have to squeez the loops back in only to have them jump out again. It happends in the middle of practice and I have to stop what I am doing to look for the loops. One does not like to have undue distractions during practice. The sticks are a bit light but they feel pretty good. Now if they could only figure out a way to keep the loops from coming out of the holes? It would almost be worth the $24 I spent. I even bought another pair for a friend. Frankly $24 is too dam expensive for something that will break after 5-6 times used. No problems with the seller. They delivered these on time no problem. If ADORO could improve this concept so these will be more durable and decrease this $24 to something more reasonable, I would say they got something there. But not yet. It is a perfect time for another manufacturer to jump on their concept and make something that works better. I wanted to love them. They just didn't pass Muster. I hope they figure it out soon.
