Damp feeling

The best 20 bucks I've ever spent on musicial gear, simply killed unnecessary rattle on my snare

Drop This Drop That

The drops attach very nicely and easily to my snare drum and toms very nicely and give them a nice muffled tone every time I beat on them. They’re very aesthetically pleasing to the eye and not too cumbersome sitting on the drum heads, and don’t get in the way of me pounding on the drums!

I like that it helps with the overtones, definitely a good product and worth the price!

drops are perfect!

I started playing drums 60 years ago. All drums then had an adjustable "muffler". It was not great but it was better than nothing. A couple years ago I bought a TAMA cocktail set for easy practice. No "mufflers". I had to put a piece of cotton cloth under the snare head, and just live with the toms.

No longer. I now use the drops on the snare and both toms, perfect.

Great idea, I hope you guys get rich.

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.

Say goodbye

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.

Shop

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.

Get Drops®

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)

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.
