 GET THIS THING!!! September 22, 2008
Bottom line, if you play rock band, you will need this. This thing will reduce the drum set noise. Of course it won't make it silent, but it will reduce the noise a lot and it is a good protector for the drum set surface.
 Good - but there's a better option September 10, 2008
Pros:
These felt drum pads are very good at dampening the noise from your loud Rock Band drum kit.
Cons:
They also reduce the re-bound from the drums, which makes it harder to play Rock Band.
Solution:
I bought these and used them for a couple months, but then I switched over to the rubber drum pads produced by the makers of Rock Band themselves. They eliminate almost as much noise as these do, but they don't reduce the tactile feedback you get from hitting the drums (the rebound or bounce-back). They let you reduce the noise from the drums without sacrificing your play experience:
Rock Band Drum Silencers
Other notes:
For both of them installation and removal is easy - they're just like thick stickers you put on your drums.
 Make sure they are right for your drum kit model... August 19, 2008
I bought the full size Drumshhh pads for two reasons - to help decrease the noise of my Rock Band drum kit and to protect the pads on the kit. While these pads did decrease the noise quite a bit, I found some major drawbacks to their usage.
I have an EL set of drums, which are known to be less sensitive than the other Rock Band drum models. These pads, unfortunately, decrease the sensitivity even further, causing for more dropped notes and having to hit the pads harder (a potentially damaging situation).
I recently attempted to remove the Drumshhh pads from my set, and they made a complete mess of my drum kit. I now have felt and adhesive all over my drum pads. The instructions that come with the Drumshhh pads do indeed say that they can be removed (and I tried per their instructions), but fully removed? No such luck. I'm now left trying to figure out how to remove the remaining felt and adhesive without doing damage to my drum kit and voiding the warranty.
Better than making it yourself... July 29, 2008

Ok, first things first: NO, these pads aren't gonna make your RockBand drums silent. (Honestly, I don't think it's possible to have something you're whacking with sticks *be* silent) I'd say they knocked the "thwack, clack" down ~60% or so. A noticeable amount that really lets ya hear the music better, which I think makes me a better drummer.
I was going to make my own pads using instructions that are all over the internet with self-adhesive foam and felt layers and a rotary cutter. Bought the supplies, but never got around to it because it was going to be such a PITA. These are a great alternative. The home-made option would have been twice as thick as these pads, which I feared would cause a loss in sensitivity. The Drumshhhh pads have much thinner, denser foam than I could find in the craft stores - and I imagine the adhesive is better; I was able to reposition them easily before applying full pressure to attach the pads.
The pads do change the way the drums feel, but I can't find a downside to it. They don't bounce back as much as without the pads, but I found that a little easier to play tight rhythm sections. It will take a little getting used to the change in my drums - they feel the tiniest bit `mushy' for lack of a better way to describe it - but the protection for my drums and the reduction in 'thwack' is worth it.
Only complaint is that I wish Amazon carried the other styles of Drumshhh pads - the solid color drums look a little cartoon-y. But since I wanted full pad coverage, these were the only real option. The company makes a full-coverage black pad set as well as a quadrant-style version that is really sweet looking. I am planning on taking a black permanent marker to my pads though, so they won't be cartoon-y for long!
They're there for color and protection... July 18, 2008

They should advertise this product not as something to silent the tapping of the drums, but rather just the protection of the drums for Rock Band. When I first bought Rock Band, I didn't realize that that hitting the drums would somewhat dent the drums (very tiny, but I'm nit-picky, especially with new things). I bought these colorful circles to protect the drums from the dents-- and guess what! They did, and they do at the moment,wonderfully. What they didn't do is remove the sound at ALL. So the stars I rated was for their advertisement--to quiet the tapping of the drums--so I rated it lowly for that. I only recommend these pads for the protection of the drums. Good Luck! =)
