Perfect tone starts here.
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.

Let customers speak for us
from 859 reviewsI bought the individual 16” towel as the kit in the studio where we practice, as well as every backline house kit I use, sports two rack toms and one floor tom. Since I use one of the 16” towels in the 3-pc pack previously purchased for the snare, this left one tom uncovered. After taping a micro-fiber towel to the floor tom batter head for weeks, I decided to buy another 16” towel for the floor tom. I’ll be using it for the first time tonight.
These are absolutely worth the money. So far, I have only had to use the 200g model on my 16" and 18" floor toms, and the resulting sound is phenomenal. These suppress the unwanted overtones, but do not choke the drum. I am also impressed with the mounting system. It stays on the lug without issue, even when the drum is flipped over to remove the legs before putting them in a case. I am very impressed!
These are the best drum overtone dampening devices I have ever used, so glad you guys invented something so simple that doesn't involve tape or sticky gummies that just attract all the little wood chips from your sticks!! I am still playing with different weights to get the perfect tone, so will be buying more!!
A versatile and high quality way to get the tone and volume you want from any drum in the kit!! Love these!
A great way to get the tone you want without using towels or cloths that do t stay put! Attach easily and are durable!
I was sceptical but these are really nice. I will never go back to the gels.
Bought these for my son’s drums. I played years ago and he wanted to start to play. Found a cheap starter 5 piece at a garage sale for $50. These drops made it sound like a $2000 set. I was so impressed it got me back behind the skins playing again.
First time drummer or a better said first time I need to buy my own equipment. I’ve never had to buy gels before. These things are fantastic very user-friendly. I’d recommend the pack of four to start.
This picture was taken before I purchased this. I realized I need to take photos tonight at our show.
Used the lighter weight for my smaller Tom’s. So far …. I’m liking the sounds.
Really improved my sound. Very impressed with the easy set up and ability to customize. May try the towels.
