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 780 reviewsI didn't think these were going to work for me as they are quite heavy for their respective sizes. But it turns out that there is some maneuverability to vary the "gating" effect on the drums. They are really convenient and live sound guys love them.
Drops do the job! Great design. Worth the money. No mess
Even better execution. Easy to use and simple to choose after viewing the video explanation. Just the right amount of options to provide a response from each drum to bring the kit to the room. Bying two sets was a better solution and cheaper than adding singles to one kit, with a couple left for kit expansion.
Nice how this 120g drop helps my DW Collectors Series snare get to the sound I was looking for. It's subjective, I know, but I really like it!
I bought this product to “give it a try” and now that I have I am amazed how well they work.
Drops 200g is great for on my snare drum & floor tom they removed the ring.
Used one 60g on 14", and one 40g and one 60g on a 16". Just enough to dampen the resonance a touch. Easy with nice results.
Wide open roto toms are a bear to tone down! In small rooms they can be a bit much. The kit I'm using is a rental I send out to "open jams" and these DROPS are PERFECT!
Perfect for controlling volume / sound ESPECIALLY if recording in a small studio like I do, or are playing live in settings where a ton of volume isn't demanded.
The advertising IS legit. They're easier to use and better sounding than gels, but also don't kill everything the way a full-cover muffler does (especially attack). They've worked for me in different tuning scenarios, and I've used em on snare (metal & wood), rack, and floor toms.
Does exactly as promised. Drums now produce a solid punch and tone, no more boing
I’m the bassist/sound engineer for my wife’s band. I record all our rehearsals and gigs. Drum sound before Tandem mutes was very good. (I’m a really good soundman.) Taming the resonant decay brings another level of clarity and “studio-like” finesse to the drums. I love the flexibility and cleanliness of the Tandem mutes. No regrets on this purchase
