The Drops Experience

After watching several videos concerning the use of Drops, I took the plunge. Needless to say, it's all true! The ease and effectiveness of this product is amazing and they are worth every penny. I highly recommend them for any application/situation that a dampening/gated effect is needed. Rock On!

Goodbye, gels

Gels, tape, and adhesives create a sticky mess. They also choke the drum head. Our drums deserve better.

Say goodbye

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.

Shop

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.

Get Drops®

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)

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.
