Our mission

Tandem Drums started with a simple belief: great sounding drums make great songs. You can put in the hours and master your chops, but if the drums don’t sound right, neither will the music.

Whether you're a drummer or producer, perfect drum tone shouldn’t be a mystery. Tandem products are designed so tone just happens, letting artists focus on creativity, not rigging up DIY fixes. When your gear gets out of the way, the music hits different.

Rooted in California, we create purpose-built tools that fuse modern engineering with time-tested tradition. For us, it's not about reinventing old ideas—it's about perfecting them. Every drummer brings something different to the table. Our mission is to help you sound perfect.

Son Drums

The idea was to give my kid more possibilities for his drum kit. With the T-towels, he can now experiment with sounds that were unattainable with other dampening methods.

Great product

I’ve used the pads and towels and they’re fantastic. Really helps in different clubs and venues I’ve played. I highly recommend all of these products to help you tweak your sound to the best it can be.

No better muting product produced!

I am the owner and builder of Rukus drums. Drops are incredible. More of a gate than a muffing device. They preserve the sound and attack of the drum while muting the unnecessary ring. Nothing in the market come close ❤️

Ron's Review

While I do like them, I wish they would come for those of us who have five drums. I still have to use moon gel on one.

Works as advertised

Very happy with the drops I received. 200g went on an 18 inch floor,with pinstripe,and took away just the right amount of overtone ring i I was looking for. Solid construction, great turnaround time from ordering to my door!

T towel and accessory bag

I like it a lot. It’s perfect for dimming the drum. I would like to see the little clip on of the lug be a little deeper into the log.
The accessory bag is super excellent. Thank you guys.

200 mg Drop

I purchased a set of four of all the sizes, and an extra 200 mg drop. The 200 mg drop is truly perfect for dampening a snare drum. They all stay in place when you play and are much easier to use than gels etc. I highly recommend trying them out

Drops set of four

I am really impressed with hoe well they work. Each drop has been designed to have the perfect weight for dampening the drum head. They stay in place and are so much easier to use. I highly recommend getting a set.

T towels

In my opinion the T towels work very well to mute sustain and make a nice dry sound. These are sturdy made and are easy on and off. Musician since 1975.

Just right

I’m impressed how these let my drums have a good attack and the right amount of resonance for articulate, warm sounds.
