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.

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.

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.

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 627 reviewsI wish these existed years ago! No more moon gels leaving residue on my drum heads. I highly recommend these for any drummer who wants to add a more controlled sound .
I like the smoothing out effect of the overtones. I doubled up on a couple of drums to lesson the overtones on the 13" and 14" tom toms. They produce just enough umf.
Used rings and clings for years. These things are the most versatile and easy to use and deliver exactly the type of suppression required for whatever sound you are looking for. I immediately ordered a follow up set after my initial try. They slip right on the top of the ring bolts securely and just lay fluidly on the head. Best part, they are easily removable and there are different weights and sizes for all manner of tuning and dampening. Worth every penny. Thank you Tandem.
After several weeks of gigging with Drops, I love 'em!
No more sticky gels,
Just great sound!
Highly recommended.
I love the drops and I’m waiting for you guys to come out with the ones for wood hoops.
Best drum muffles you can get. Super happy with my purchases.
I absolutely love it! So much better then gel. Just enough muffle and I love how it attaches to the drum lug. 👍
Been looking for something like this for years. They work great!
Thank you for a great product!! It performed as I expected!!
Sincerely,
