Vic FirthIndividual Drum Mutes 12 in.
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A single 12-inch drum mute. Rubber pad that drops on a drum head to kill volume for quiet practice.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Practicing a kit in an apartment or shared house
- Quiet rehearsal where a full kit is too loud
- Adding one mute to an existing set that's missing a size
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone wanting to keep a natural drum tone and feel
- Drummers needing a whole kit muted — this is one piece
- Players who need to hear real dynamics and stick response
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Sold individually
One mute only. A full kit needs several, one per drum size.
Detail 03
Drop-on design
No hardware or tuning changes — lift it off and the drum is back to normal in seconds.
Detail 04
Rubber surface
Rebound is faster and stiffer than a real head, so your touch won't translate one-for-one.
Detail 05
$10.95
Cheapest way to make one drum quiet; a full kit's worth adds up to a pad set's price.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01One mute only — count your drums before ordering
- 02Measure the drum head diameter, not the shell or rim
- 03Cuts volume substantially but does not make a drum silent
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Does this fit a 12-inch tom?
Yes, it's sized for a 12-inch head. Measure across the head itself — shell and rim measurements will give you the wrong number.
02How many do I need for a full kit?
One per drum. A standard five-piece needs five, plus separate mutes for cymbals if you want those quieted too.
03Will it change how the drum feels?
Yes. Rubber rebounds faster and stiffer than a drum head, so dynamics and stick response won't match an unmuted kit.
04Does it damage the head?
It rests on the head without adhesive or hardware, so it lifts off clean when you're done.
