Vic Firth Bass Drum Mute - 18"

Whisper-Quiet Kick Drum Practice

The Vic Firth 18" Bass Drum Mute is the ultimate solution for drummers who want to practice complex footwork and heavy kick grooves without shaking the walls. Designed specifically for smaller 18-inch jazz and club-sized bass drums, this mute attaches securely to your batter head, absorbing the heavy impact of the beater and reducing overall volume to an apartment-friendly level.

Maintain Authentic Pedal Action

One of the biggest challenges with bass drum mutes is a loss of natural rebound, forcing you to change your pedal technique. Vic Firth solves this by using a high-density, pure black rubber. The material is thin enough to allow the natural tension of the drumhead to respond to the beater, ensuring that your double strokes and heel-toe techniques translate perfectly when the mute comes off.

Key Features

• 18-Inch Size: Tailor-made for 18-inch kick drums, providing ample coverage to deaden the attack and reduce sub-frequency boom.
• Pure Rubber Construction: The non-slip design grips the head tightly to endure the constant, heavy impact of a bass drum beater.
• Low-Volume Performance: Essential for drummers living in shared spaces who need to practice the full kit without disturbing neighbors.
