Hello Drops® » "This is the perfect drum tone"
Drops reduce sustain and eliminate overtones using only gravity and air to create an active gate effect (goodbye sticky gels and gaffer tape).
Let customers speak for us
from 567 reviewsI purchased a set of 4 drum drops for my 1962 Ludwig set. They are easy to use as advertised, and are very well made (in the USA). They make NO noise when setting on the heads. They completely got rid of the annoying after-ring. I've had these drums since 1967, and they have never sounded as good. Thank you Tamden Drums!!
Thank you for being the first to recognize and design a product that perfectly addresses a common need. Most drummers never have the means to purchase their dream drum set and we often have to settle for what we can afford. As a former music store employee, DROPS would have been a perfect solution to make a kit sound professional. Thank you for DROPS. A great product for a common issue with spectator results!
These things you all came up with are AMAZING! Not only did they let the drums breathe as they should, but they dampened the problem ringing on the toms. So easy to listen to without the incessant ringing .
Thank you for making a perfect accessory for drums!
was a bit suspect at first but they deliver the results I was looking for. no more sticky gel tabs!
I got my set of Drops and they immediately helped me get the sound I wanted. I put on a new set of Pinstripe heads and they were a little ringy. The Drops tightened it right up and I'm getting the sound I want. I am using bubinga shells, so they cut through. But the Drops give me a warmer tone and help me blend in better with the ensemble. I highly recommend them for live gigging situations.
These things are awesome! My drummer bought a piccolo snare that had too much ring. Slapped one of the smallest drops on and gone!!
Loving these! Much better than tape or gels and has a clean look as well.
I'm very pleased that I found and ordered drops to help focus and dampen the sound of my small kit. They're super-easy to use, and I like the various sizes. I bought the 2 x 4 bundle. Tandem was really great with timely and informative responses to my questions on the front end. Thank you!
They are great gives me the studio and background sounds I'm looking for i recommended to a drummer friend of mine and he ordered them as well thanks so much
I’ve been drumming over 40 years in all kinds of studio and live situations and these are the absolute best mufflers I’ve ever used…
Highly recommended
I recently got a vintage Rogers kit set up and running for a show. I ordered the set of 4 drops to use. Popped them on for the 1st time and didn't have to touch them again, perfect dampening. They stayed put and worked great, no overtones, no problems with the mics, just great. Highly recommend.
These bags are great. I bought 3, one for each of my kits, so I can keep the Drops organized for each kit.
I love this bag. It was a great idea. I’m glad you guys made. It comes in handy not only for the drops, but for other miscellaneous things so they can stay organized..
This bag is the perfect size to carry my Drops with out worrying about them getting damaged in my drum bag. It also has a very strong zipper. Perfect way to carry the Drops in my drum pack.

Buying guide
Not sure which Drops to get? Check out the buying guide for tips and best practices.

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. There are no rules, but he have compiles some best practices and tips in this buying guide.
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.
