 Important fitment guide!!! March 6, 2010

When fitted correctly, these pads will quieten the drums, improve responsiveness and will not decrease sensitivity, but there are no fitting instructions with this product.
DO NOT Slap em straight on. They are too big for the heads. They will not adhere correctly, they will end up sounding worse than before and you will lose sensitvity.
If you look under each drum head, you will see they are held in by 4 rubber 'bungs'. What you need to do, is apply a bit of pressure to the lower part of the head (not the outer rim) and prise up the heads, taking care not yank the very frail thin wire underneath, resulting in the heads 'popping' out of the main frame.
Turn the head over. Remove the 6 small screws holding the outer rim down. Re fit the head (minus the ring) by aligning up the 'bungs' with holes and applying a bit of pressure. Then just stick on the pad.
At first I cut down the first pad to fit. Did the job but looks terrible. Any chance of sending me a blue pad for my very useful info Amazon?
Excellent - if you follow this advice March 18, 2009

I found this post from "David" on the US Amazon.com site.
Extremely helpful if you find the pads don't fit on your drums.
I did this and it worked a treat...
"At first I got the drum pad silencers and held them up to the rock band drum pads and thought "this isn't going to work." Check out your RB drums. You'll notice a thin plastic rim around each drum. Well I expected these drum pads to fit inside that ring. Nope, if you stuck them on, they would go over the ring and then sort of float on top of the actual drum pad and MAYBE make contact in the center, where the pressure transducer is that picks up your drum strikes.
So, to install these drum pads, you must TAKE OFF THE PLASTIC RIM around the drums. It takes a few minutes, but isn't hard. You have to pull the striking part of each drum off individually. It takes a lot of force, but be careful not to yank out the wire underneath. If you look at your RB drums from below, you'll notice 3 or 4 small rubber wedges sticking through the plastic base. These are what hold the drums into the frame. Once you've pulled off a drum pad, unscrew the plastic rim, take it off, and reassemble the drum (make sure all the rubber pieces are back in place, sometimes they stay attached to the drum surface half and need to be taken off and screwed back into the base. Push the drum pad back onto the base and make sure all 4 rubber feet click into place. THEN stick the drum silencer onto the drum pad.
After performing the installation as I mentioned above, these pads make the RB drums much much much quieter and WAY more pleasant to play, especially in groups or at night. There are no installation instructions included with this kit, but there should be.
Another option is to trim the pads so they fit inside the plastic rim. I thought it would be easier and cleaner looking to remove the plastic rim instead"

Works great with beatles rock band drums. Installed them over the plastic rims. No problem at all with sensivity.
Silence and bounce November 17, 2009

With this product, you will no more awaken your neighbours. But this is not the only advantage, because your drums will have more realistic bounce, so it will be easier to play fast sequences

These are well worth the money, as they fit any of the Rock Band/ Guiter Hero drum kits. They attach by being adhesive on the entire back of the pad. It changes the way you can play the drums, firstly it changes the sound from an annoying "tap tap" sound, to a "thump thump" sound, which is not only easier on the ear (and the neighbours), but allows you to hit the drums harder, which is great fun. I wouldnt play any of these drums without using these.
