Hello Drops® » "This is the perfect drum tone"
Drops reduce sustain and eliminate overtones using only gravity and air to create an active gate effect (goodbye sticky gels and gaffer tape).
Let customers speak for us
from 589 reviewsThis was my second purchase to finish my set up. I have a seven piece, so it took a bit of fine tuning to get them the way I wanted. First we had Deadringers then Zer0rings. I like the floating aspect of this design. The latest industry reply is more sticky gels. Gen X drummer loves this product.
These Drops are amazing and reliable on the toms and Sabre heads. Give just the right amount of time e and control playing indoors or outdoors.
After purchasing two full sets of the drum drops, I wanted to add a couple more of the 120 ‘s. Also purchased new accessory bag, seems to be a quality product as well. Just used these on a recent recording project and couldn’t be happier with the results the drum drops. I highly recommend them.
I got a pair of early versions of these, and the rubber holders were straight, which caused the mufflers to sit higher and at an angle. The newer design has been adjusted so they sit more flush on the head. A big improvement. I'm not sure these will work for me on larger toms--they tend to choke the head a little too much. But they're fantastic on a snare drum. I like how they fit onto a lug. Nice design; thanks!
In a way these remind me of the old snares, like the Rogers, which had an internal damper to control sound. This product is a gift for my son, so I do not have feedback, but I am encouraged.
I am very satisfied with my drum drops. They took only a few minutes to install and rearrange to get the sound I liked. They sound is great. Suoer product.
The product works exactly as promised. First, the product is much more substantial (weight-wise) that it might appear in the advertisements. Second, they are easy to use and can be easily removed when you want a different sound. I am very happy with the purchase and, frankly, surprised by the success of the product.
I bought two sets—one for my studio and rehearsal room, and the other for my live set of drums. The Tandem Drops perform exactly as advertised. The overtones are gone, leaving a rich, warm tone. The pitch-bend on my toms sounds amazing.
Recently purchased. Love the accessory bag. It's perfect for my drops and any little important things like drum keys, IEMS etc ..

Buying guide
Not sure which Drops to get? Check out the buying guide for tips and best practices.

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. There are no rules, but he have compiles some best practices and tips in this buying guide.
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.
