1) Portable and handy

2) Look sophisticated and easily clean

3) soft rubber tips, thus facilitating smooth practice

4) can be played on almost all hard surfaces without damaging them

5) soft to the ear when played, thus it won't be of any noise pollution

6) Easily fit and adapt to every drumstick

8) can practice rudiments whenever and wherever you want without even having a drum set


Cons
1) can be easily misplaced if not well kept due to its small size

2) Does not regain its original size once used, thus with time it get loose fitted

3) Loose fitted tips are more prone to get lost

It's not bad, but I feel some other products are quieter than this.

Pros:
+ quality is fine
+ decreases noise level a little bit
+ quantity

Cons:
- doesn't decrease noise level
- decreases rebound
- makes sticks a bit heavier, but still playable

These are much better than Tama Silent tips, at least for me

I like them but don't use them
Cicko 25.05.2021
This really sounds like a cool and innovative idea but I find that I never used them after trying them the first couple of times. The feel and the noise level will depend on the surface used, so it is quite unpredictable. The tips tend pick up all the dust and dirt from the underlying surface. They've proven useful at the beach, though.
Overall, I prefer carrying a pad (and a stand sometimes). That gives much more predictable results when practicing on the go.

Handy for practice
Hugh C. 26.01.2019
These work great when you don't have a pad and are much more convenient to carry around.
They provide a great rebound on any hard surface and reduce the volume somewhat.
They fit great on most sticks but are a bit stretched on larger sticks. you wouldn't fit them on a marching stick.
Handy product overall

If you expect them to make you sound quieter, no, they don't.

Instant practice pad
James G 24.04.2017
Allows for any surface to be used as a practice pad and not damaged. The sound isn't particularly quieter than a pad, and this does obviously depends on what you're hitting.

Fits on all the sticks that I had, regardless of tip size/shape

Also makes some odd noises when you hit drums.
