I’m pleased !

They pretty well do what the product description says, and the best part is no more gels making my coated heads look awful.

The best thing so far

I’m a drummer for 50 plus years now and I love these things clean out of the way and the sound is amazing

These are awesome!

I have been playing a while and when I ordered these and put them on the drums, I almost said wow out loud. These work great.

I like your product and so does the sound person in the mixing room.
I did have to modify my snare hoop to allow the drop to slip over the snare nut because I have wood hoops instead of metal. Used a drill bit to make the opening bigger in the wood to allow drop to anchor to bolt.
VERY HAPPY WIT THE PRODUCT

Under Control

I purchased the 2x4 Drops bundle. Enough drops to dampen snare, floor and three toms with a couple extra left over to double drop snare and floor to get a dryer tone without killing the fundamental.

Next generation is here

This 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.

Great product!

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.

Better with improved design

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!

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. 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.
