Vic Firth
Vic Firth 12" Rubber Drum Mute
Vic Firth 12 in mute: on the tom it deadens the sound, on a table it turns into a thin practice pad.
The Vic Firth 12 in mute is a rubber disc with two jobs: laid on a 12 in tom, it deadens it; set on a table, it becomes a thin, light practice pad that slips into your bag.
What sets it apart
- For the 12 in tom
- Mute on the tom, pad on the table
- Stack two for a softer feel
Two uses for one disc
Vic Firth also designs it as a floppy pad. On a hard surface it gives a lively bounce; stack two and the surface turns softer and makes your wrists work, a good way to build endurance with no extra gear.

Frequently asked questions
- How quiet are drum mutes?
- Quiet enough for home practice: the tom loses its resonance and you mostly hear the stick's contact. It isn't complete silence.
- How do you use a drum mute?
- Just lay it on the batter head of the 12 in tom and play; it comes off in a second.
- What does a mute do when used as a pad?
- It lets you practise without a kit: set on a table, it gives you a thin striking surface. Two stacked discs feel softer.
