The EQ Pad is an adjustable bass drum muffler that enables control over attack and sustain. A hinged damping pad bounces off the head upon impact, allowing some minimal resonance before returning to full damp the head.

This product helps to control the "ringing" that is present in a bass drum. It will not make the drum sound "deeper" like a feather pillow. The attachments are (2) strips of velcro that did not stick to the inside of my wood drum; so the item came loose after a week and was floating around inside the drum. It is also a bit lighter than i expected, but it will do the job in giving you control of your sound and looks better than an old pillow or towel. For that deeper sound, I changed out the single 7mil head and ordered a double ply 7mil head and that did the trick to deliver the solid deep sound that I was after.

Cheap junk. The bottom of the pad attaches to the drum shell with velcro, which is fine if you don't mind glueing something to your instrument. Then you move the pad up against, or away from the drum head. It doesn't matter how you adjust it, the "hinged damper pad" weighs maybe an ounce or two, and does nothing to dampen the drum, no matter how you adjust it. If your looking for a dull "thud", you'd do better with an old blanket your dog is tired of. At least it was only twenty bucks. Absolutely the first time I've been dissapointed in anything shipped by Amazon.
