Quick start

The Set of 4 Drops is the most popular. This will give you some options to play around with. Perfect for a small kit:

For snare drums

Drops are the key to perfect snare tone. Watch this demo video to see how we use different configurations on some of our favorite snare drums:

For toms

Use the lighter weights (40g/60g) on rack toms 8"-12":

Use the heavier weights (120g/200g) on floor toms 13"-18":

Tip: Try doubling up multiple Drops for a more aggressive muffling effect:

Here's a demo of a typical setup on the rack and floor toms:

For travel

The Drum fx accessory bag holds up to two sets of Drops, and is perfect for keeping your Tandem accessories organized and protected on the go. Slip it into a cymbal bag or snare bag:

Compatibility

Drops are currently not compatible with most wood hoops, or those oversized slotted tension rod heads found on some vintage Sonor kits. Make sure your kit uses standard square-head tension rods (the kind you tune with a standard drum key).
