Of course they can not take the force of the impact on a conventional snare drum, but they are not well made.
If you want to play quietly, you have to buy E-Drums or a practice pad.
However, as mentioned before they steaming at E-Drums or a practice pad still * in addition * excellent.
I bought it, so I can play at night on my E-Drums, and can be absolutely sure that no neighbor or roommate is disturbed,
and this purpose meet the Tama TCP10D Silent tips perfectly.
Five Stars!
PS: they have a considerable weight, so you should think about mitzubestellen same lighter drum sticks.
