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 1017 reviewsA friend let me try the set he purchased & I was so impressed I had to get some of my own. I've been using white kitchen/tea towels with large hair tie/rubber bands to hold them in place on my toms (folded over for half coverage on snare) which have worked out great & are a cheap solution. T-Towels were head & shoulders better. They lower the pitch slightly & allow a bit more tone to ring out. They also stay in place well when playing. I worry a bit about the rubber/plastic piece that grips the lugs wearing out over time & hope Tandem will replace 'em if needed. These aren't cheap- but so far I'm extremely happy.
A great product and always perfect for what I need to help control tone and volume. Thank you for all that you guys do.
Great dampening tool. Works just like they stated. Awesome!
So many small venues are acoustic nightmares. Industrial design, hard surfaces, with nothing to deaden the sound. I ordered a full set of the drops and tee towels for my drum kit know I'd be returning to the same venue several time over the next several months. I play a five piece top line Tama kit with beautiful tone. The combination did wonders for toning down the volume of my kit which allowed for the band to align itself behind the drum volume rather than compete with it. The whole setup even recorded well in the live setup.
I bought the 40s to put on my timbales because they simply resonated too much. I like a little resonance, and these drops were the perfect size to calm those timbales down. I don’t own a trap set, but I can definitely see how they would be effective there, loo
These are fantastic way better than rezo rings on the head. They improve sound of drum and vibrate on head rather than dampen. Love them....
Works as advertised.
They work great I love the individual sizes and weights. I highly recommend them for anybody else
Happy I would recommend
Worth the investment
I'm complete pleased with my set of Tandem Drum Drops. I was using gel tabs but with a single drop, I can accomplish the same sonic result without using more space on the head (particularly the snare where my brush work is affected).
Love the convenience of these. Much better than sticky tabs or tape!
Love them!
Thank you working great
They're exactly what I needed!
