"I actually have two of these now and one stays at work for lunchtime practice sessions and one stays at home for late night rudiments. My wife works early shift patterns and goes to bed earlier in the evening and the quiet foam side is an ideal way to practice without disturbing her. I have also not had any complaints from my work colleagues when I sit quietly to one side and practice various sticking exercises at lunchtime."

"The blue surface is a classic rubber pad surface that allows the stick to bounce well. Here you can practice great doubles etc. I like to use the other side, which is colored black and has a slightly more impact-absorbing surface. More force has to be used here, which is great for training strength and endurance in the forearms. In addition, this is the special \"quiet\" surface, which is actually significantly quieter when touched. This means I can easily do my exercises in the next room without disturbing other roommates in the apartment."

"With this practice pad I can practice whenever I want without disturbing others, even if it's the middle of the night. The blue side feels and sounds like a normal pad, the black side is quiet and has a bit less rebound. I enjoy using this, but most of all I'm glad that I can pick it up whenever I want to without having to think about what time it is."
