Let customers speak for us
from 186 reviewsI purchased a package of 4 different sized drops but when they came there were 2 identical 60 gr drops and no 40 gr drop. Tandem drums sent out the missing 40 gr. drop and did not require me to return the extra 60 gr. BUT, when the missing 40 gr. drop was delivered it was another 60gr. Tandem drum got it right on the third attempt and now I’m enjoying the use of 6 drops and experimenting with different combinations on the drum kit. Tandem drums handled the mix up the way you would hope and expect a company to do and I’m happy with their product and their service.
Yes, I saw the positive reviews and video endorsements and bit. Purchased the 4-pack and they arrived promptly after a few days in very cool low-fi recyclable packaging. Immediately I installed them (easily clip on and movable) and gave them a go at my shows. They made an immediate positive impact on the sound control! Gels &/ or tape are still cool but totally not necessary with Drops. I used different combinations on different drums (usually two on my floor tom, sometimes two on the snare) Immediately the resonation is gated but not choked. It's the perfect product for what drummers need to control their sound
These work great and keep my drums sounding open and live but without the annoying ring.
I’ve been impressed so far!
I play in an 80s band and frequently play the belly up in Solana beach. The sound man there does large touring acts. He had heard of your product and I recently had purchased. I showed him and never had used He said let’s try them out. I was complemented all night of how good they sounded.
You guys make a great product. I’ll keep sharing thoughts and photos on instagram

I can now replace the handkerchief I have used on my snare!
I love using them. Did a test ride. In Arizona where I live moon gel melts in truck. What a mess
I really like that they use the lugs to stay in place — they don’t budge while playing. Really well designed and produced. Also - the options you have with the different weights is pretty handy. Some songs require just some overtone control, while other require something beefier — that’s where the largest (or, using multiple) work great. Haven’t yet used them w/ a back line kit, but I will and they’ll be a staple in my stick bag.
Love the drops! They stay put and do what they’re supposed to do. I see you are based out of Marin County, I grew up in Terra Linda!
These were great! I've got one on my marching snare, and one on my concert snare.
Huge fan, they have been great to use and the quality is great

Goodbye, gels
Gels 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.
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)
Active gate design
Drops are designed to control overtones while letting the drum's natural tone come through. Rather than adhering to the drum head, they vibrate with it.
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.
