Let customers speak for us
from 147 reviewsLoving how these work on my Gretsch USA kit!
All the tone is still there but over-rings are gone!
Also enjoying switching out the different weights on different drums.
No more gel residue on heads. Great job on the attachment system too! They stay where I put them
These were totally worth the purchase! Major upgrade on my kit.
I have used other dampening devices. One of the better ones, but still was not doing the trick was the adjustable flap pad attached by Velcro to the rim of the drum. They still didn’t quite have the weight like these do. It seems that even though they are heavy, they have the ability to trap the unwanted ring noise and not affect the drumhead.
They really shape the tone of my kit! Quick shipping too.
We put them on a set of custom Stubblefield drums and recorded for 30 hours. We experimented some with the different sizes but found that they allowed the drums to keep their robust tone while creating a ring free recording!!
These drops are amazing. Goodbye gels hello Drops. They help lessen any over tones or ringing as well as help the overall tone of the drums. While dampening. Successfully dampens without choking the tone of your drumset. Would highly recommend for drummers who need some dampening tools for various venues.
Great product and works perfectly for me
and guess what it’s not messy,
A snare drum can be really unruly at times so this is
a great way to control the unnecessary noise
and ringing that comes with this instrument, these
Drops work perfectly.
Why did it take so long for this to hit the market? The simple design, user friendly and serves a purpose chased by most all drummers. Recieved on a Friday morning and debuted at a gig that Saturday. Impressive build quality. Feel substantial. Sound guy loved the basic gate effect they produce and I am very happy with tone and muffle effects. Still need to fine tune a bit but over all I couldn't be happier. If you mess around with gels, rings, tape, etc, etc then these should absolutely have a place in your gear box. Only suggestion, maybe a build your own set option and still get that 4 pack savings.
I used my drops for the first time this past weekend on a gig. It was amazing how the drums were transformed into a studio quality compressed drum set. There was one particular song where I needed a little bit more and all I did was move the pads over for that particular song and then put them back. I even had a friend who was partly professional comment on how great the drum sounded all because of drops.
This product is the cleanest, good quality and more efficient damper that I ever had
I put these on my drums and they make a world of difference. They deaden the drum just enough without taking the tone away. 100% would recommend.

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.
![](http://tandemdrums.com/cdn/shop/files/Drops_FourWeights.png?v=1695068380&width=1500)
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.

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.
