danial...does Swee Lee have these?....Have you tried calling them already?
Hi
Swee Lee has it. Think I bought mine for $5 or $7. Can't really remember 'coz it was a couple of months ago.
And it's not really silent silent. As in, just imagine wrapping the tip of your sticks with rubber. Instead of a higher pitch wood sound, the sticks make a "duller" and much much subdued sound.

Swee Lee has it (I was there Saturday)......They told me it is use - for Pads not on actual drum kit...I asked why on pads - they say so that it's more quite...if use on drum kit - no point.

I wonder if any of you had ever experience this...
Sometimes when we practice on the pad with our drumsticks - then you play on your actual snare (assuming it's white colour the batter)..there are these black markings which was transfer from the pad...
So the rubber here also serve this purpose really.

No.
I have the rubber tips.
They are not silent, even though they're called Silent Tips.
The purpose is not to mute the sound of the drum when you hit it with the stick - if you think about it, it does not make sense at all, because in that case why do they make a sound when you use rubber mallets on drums and cymbals?
Rather, the purpose of the silent tips is to allow you to practice anywhere without needing to have a practice pad. The idea is that the tips will mute the attack of a drumstick against a hard surface, eg against a table top, so you can practice on a table top without a practice pad.
They work for this purpose, but it isn't practical - it won't be long before someone complains about the table ringing or vibrating.
What is useful, is that as a side effect, you can get something close to the sound of a rubber mallet by using the silent tips. It cuts out a lot of the attack on cymbal rolls and on mallet instruments.
I bought them from Swee Lee, not sure if they still sell them, but they were cheap - about $4. They didn't fit over every tip, though - I had to cut a bit in order to get them to fit over my VF 3As.

I got them from Swee Lee for $5, but the hole a bit too small so I have to cut to be able to insert the tips (Zildjian Tre Cool signature, just for your info)...
Pretty good, esp if you are like me, dun have drum set so sometimes like to make random noises on different cupboards lol. And the great thing is that they are made of rubber, so they don't harm your cupboards!!!
But one thing though. If you intend to get them to practice, don't. It's better to get a proper practice pad, cuz having those things on your sticks affects the balance, and your sticks start feeling unnaturally heavy at the tips. I use them just for the fun of it, but when I practice I use my practice pad.
But, I guess, you can always try them out on real drums to create some interesting new sounds, no?
