Drops
Perfect drums
Drops® are the award winning collection of simple, durable attachments that naturally enhance the sound of live drums. Unlike sticky gels and tape, Drops are weighted to reduce sustain and eliminate overtones using only gravity and air.
Goodbye gels 🚮
Sticking things to the drums is a thing of the past. Adhesives choke the drum head. Tape leaves sticky residue. Gels melt in the sun, and under stage lights. Say goodbye.
A range of options
From the subtle 40g, to the heaviest 200g, Drops equip the drummer and producer with a versatile tool kit to dial in each snare drum, rack tom, and floor tom.
Active gate tone control
The secret to Drops' sound is air. Instead of adhesives sticking to the drum head, Drops rest on the surface. The flexible silicone mount allows Drops to lift with the initial attack, letting the drum's natural tone come through, then immediately fall to gate the sustain and eliminate overtones. The heavier the Drops, the more aggressive the active gate effect will be.
Easy on/off
Drops feature a molded silicone mount that grabs on to any standard tension rod. This pressure fit system makes them easy to configure on the fly, and keeps them firmly in position. Press to attach, pull to remove. (Patent pending)
Built to last
Unlike gels which are disposable, Drops are designed with lifespan in mind. The durable silicone mount is double stitched through die cut industrial felt. No moving parts.
Your new bag of tricks
Drops are made to travel, offering a consistent solution from stage to studio. So no matter what kit you're playing tonight, you'll have a few tricks up your sleeve to get it sounding perfect.

Let customers speak for us
from 799 reviewsGreat product! I am still playing with the tuning, but these are amazing!
Purchased the "Drops 2x4 bundle" and was able to use only 1 bundle so I gave the other to a friend. We're both amazed on how much these Drops help in tone, feel and eliminating ring on all 4 drum heads. EXCELLENT product!
Just give them a shot. The product is superb, and the staff are amazing. No BS.
These set of four Tandem drops are just what I need to get the sound I want and need ! I love this product!
I like to use this when I need a little more dampening on my snare drums. It’s easy to use and works better than gels. I love it!
I have been using this on my snare drums. It takes out just the right amount of ring. No more gels that dry out and won’t stick. I love the product!
I saw advertisements for the Tandem drops for a while and always was skeptical they would live up to the hype. In my opinion they absolutely do work as advertised and I love the tone and depth of sound they get.
These are really well made dampening pads and having the 4 options/weights, allows for quick change-out, when you need more or less control over your kit's resonance. Works well in both live and studio settings. They're not cheap, but are super flexible and highly recommended.
So much better than the wallet trick or the old school paper towles and duct tape. 100% worth the few bux it costs. Strongly recommend.
they di exactly what they say they do! and do it extremely well!
These are very helpful in taking away the dreaded overtone ringing by 90%
Better clarity over-all thx.
I have a Ludwig 70's Vistalite Kit which I have owned & played exclusively since then ... This gives me the best way to get the sound I want. Where in studio or live. thank you for the solution...BTW I use a double set on each drum.
Good to know
