Hello Drops®
Dial in your ideal drum tone. Drops reduce sustain and eliminate overtones using only gravity and air to create an active gate effect (no more gels or tape).

from 402 reviewsFinally, a simple clean practical way to muffle drums
Amazing product. I became an instant fan. Chills out overtones while preserving the tone of the drums. I also love design, and the way these attach to lug nut head. I will be buying another set here soon. Outstanding work.
Get some. I got 120 for test and all size drums, may get 60's also for small toms.
I typically prefer to run my kit wide open, but in my new home, I noticed the space was overwhelmed with the resonance. While I've used gels in the past, they tend to wear out faster than advertised and require precise placement for optimal effectiveness. After coming across these drops online, I decided to give them a try—and they’re amazing! They allow me to maintain my wide-open sound while immediately gating the sustain. I'm still experimenting with the weights on my toms but will likely purchase more to fully complement my entire kit.
Went to use a snare drum after a couple of years in storage. The 'MoonGel' was little more than a thick liquid that made a big mess! Love the ease of install and degree of mute!!
Drops, the easiest least problematic solution to reducing sustain.
Sure, the wallet sounded ok, but it bounced around and I didn’t want to accidentally leave it on my snare or worse, lose it! I bought a couple of the 200g Drops and they are a huge improvement over the wallet. I can use one or both as needed. They look great and absolutely stay put as they attach to the head of a tuning rod. I will be buying some of the smaller versions for my toms.
It's a great solution that's easy to install and fine tune. No tape, no permanent modification or disassembly required. I mixed and matched 2 assorted packs. Got the sound I wanted when E-rings weren't enough.

How Drops® work
Live demo

Goodbye, gels
Gels, tape, and adhesives create a sticky mess. They also choke the drum head. Our drums deserve better.

Hello Drops®
Drops are durable and reusable. They attach to standard tension rods with a molded silicone tab. Use them across your kit to dial in your drum tone.

Active gate design
Drops are designed to reduce sustain and eliminate overtones, while letting the drum's natural tone come through. Rather than adhering to the drum head, Drops vibrate with it.

Mix & match
Drops come in four different weights – 40g / 60g / 120g / 200g. Use lighter weights to fatten up the drums, and heavier weights for a tighter, dryer tone.

Easy on/off
Drops grab on to standard tension rods. Press to attach, pull to remove. (Patent pending)

Award winning
Drops earned the "Projects We Love" award on Kickstarter, and went on to raise 8x the original funding goal.

Trusted team
Drops are designed in California by Daniel Kushner, founder and creator of MONO, the world renown luggage and travel accessories brand.

FAQs
Can I hear a demo of how Drops actually sound?
Yes. Go to the Drops® home page and scroll down to the Play Demo section and hit "play" on the video there. Headphones recommended.
Which Drops go on which drums?
Drops are meant to mix and match on your kit. Play around with different weights on each drum to get the tone you're looking for. Generally speaking, the heavier Drops provide a tighter, dryer sound, while the lighter Drops provide a fatter sound. Get the tone you want. No rules.
Can I use Drops on my toms?
Yes. Drops sound great on toms. We like using the 200g "wallet" on the floor tom, and the little 40g or 60g on the rack tom. Experiment and have fun.
Are Drops compatible with all drums?
No. This iteration of Drops is designed for drums with standard steel hoops, including triple flanged and die-cast hoops. Drops aren't designed for wood hoops. Also, vintage Sonor drums with those larger slotted tension rods are not compatible with the current design. We'd like to support wood hoops and vintage tension rods in the future, because they're pretty sweet.
