I'm kind of dissapointed that Remo reduced the size of these... I had one from a couple years ago that was same material and larger, but seems you can't get that size anymore. Because of the reduced size and reduced allowance for margin of error, I recommend you locate and mount it with your pedal/beater in place... I spent a bunch of time measuring and marking to mount it in the EXACT center of my new bass drum head, and then didn't realize until later that my bass drum pedal/beater is actually offset slightly to the right due to the pedal design, (DOHH!!). Anyways, these protect your head from wear, but they also change the sound slightly, (for the better in my opinion)... i.e. they add a bit more attack and "click" to the sound, (not "super-clicky" mind you... but just a touch more transient attack). A mandatory addition if you play "rock" music and want your batter head to last.

I've been using these Remo Falam Slam patches since they were first introduced to the market. They come in two colors, white and clear. The consensus seems to be that the clear ones are harder and provide more attack than the white, although Remo has never stated such. The big gripe here is that these 2.5" patches are not nearly as good as the original 4" patches.

        Bought these for my fifteen year old metal head. Definitely worth it. He popped thru the last bass head within days of getting his double bass pedal. Now the new head will last much longer

        Comments about Remo Falam Slam Pad Kevlar Bass Drum Patch (2 Pack):

        Granted i didnt get mine off the website but i got mine today and this is the most amazing kick pad ever! the durability is incredible my only problem is that it gave my my bass a clicky cheap sound but maybe i could blame that on my crudy pulse attack head (dont buy those heads) but great product it does everything a kick pad should.

        Comments about Remo Falam Slam Pad Kevlar Bass Drum Patch (2 Pack):

        Ive had these patches for about a year and WOW. they look almost exactly the same as when i got them. they have saved me so much money that would have been used to buy extra batter heads for my basses. so you can buy these for 5 bucks or you can replace your heads every 6 months. you cant go wrong

        Comments about Remo Falam Slam Pad Kevlar Bass Drum Patch (2 Pack):

        These come in two colors, white and black. The white one looks a little more durable so I use that as my primary right foot pad, though I am not sure since I've only owned these for about two weeks. They do not alter the sound or quality of your bass drum at all. These will extend the lifetime of your head. (An especially good investment for more expensive heads, like the Aquarian Superkick II.) Overall, I've been pretty satisfied.

        Comments about Remo Falam Slam Pad Kevlar Bass Drum Patch (2 Pack):

        I had these on my bass drums and the head is over a year old and still not broken. I do alot of double bass drumming so without these patches my drum heads would've been broke a long time ago. THEY WORK! Plus they sound cool on your bass drum. :)

        By Andy

        from SC

        Comments about Remo Falam Slam Pad Kevlar Bass Drum Patch (2 Pack):

        These are the best impact pads there are. I use them on my powerstroke 3 heads.(the best kick drum heads) I play a lot and I play really fast. These seem to last forever. I put one on the head in the exact center and forgot about it, by now I see no need to check on it. It hasn't gone anywhere.(a year now) Every drummer should use this.

        Helpful with toms actually

        By Anonymous

        from Undisclosed

        Comments about Remo Falam Slam Pad Kevlar Bass Drum Patch (2 Pack):

        I just got a new Pearl Masters MCX set and it came with this. After I tuned everything I realized my floor tom really rang out. So I thought about it and I said to myself "I use felt beaters and my floor tom needs muffling. I should use that thingy that came with the bass drum." That was the first thing that came to mind and it turned out great. It muffled the sound and it gave it the punch I like.
