Hello Drops®
Dial in your ideal drum tone. Drops reduce sustain and eliminate overtones using only gravity and air to create an active gate effect (no more gels or tape).
Let customers speak for us
from 430 reviewsI'm not sure why I waited so long to order the Drops. I guess I was a little skeptical and **** bent on using gels that I've used since they were first introduced. Drops are well manufactured, clean, and drop (no pun intended) the unwanted overtones out of each drum. They lift off the head just enough to give the attack and drop back down to kill the sustain. They're like little individual noise gates on each drum. Simple concept, fantastic results.

Sounds great, I'm still experimenting with them but they sound great.
The 200g Drop is perfect for my 15” tom, as the lighter versions have been for the rest of my Pearl DLXs. It helps control overtones, while not choking the drum out or affecting its tone. Drops continue to work very well for me.
Arrived quickly, nought 2 packs to place on every head, dampened the overtones, experimented with the different weight and combinations of. They’re great.
I had my doubts but these Drops are amazing. Goodbye gel. Hello Drops!
I bought these on a whim after getting annoyed with peeling gels off my drum heads and was surprised how much they improved the live tone of my drums with no fuss getting them on and off. Great product.
The title says it all. I’m super impressed in how the drums are sounding in the studio!
Great product, super fast shipping. I have ordered all the sizes and find them incredibly useful for live & studio. Haven't done a gig without them since I got them. Just ordered a couple for the B Live Kit. Here's a shot of 60's on snare & floor tom. Calms them down nicely. Thanks for offering such a cool product.
I’m not the one that uses them. I bought them for my son who plays. He recommended them, he said they were the best.
Absolutely love these! Using them on big drums…14” Rack and 18” Floor. These do a fantastic job of still letting the drum sing while killing the extensive ringing.

How Drops® work
Live demo

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. 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.
