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.

Amazed!

I bought this product to “give it a try” and now that I have I am amazed how well they work.

60g on Floor Toms

Used one 60g on 14", and one 40g and one 60g on a 16". Just enough to dampen the resonance a touch. Easy with nice results.

Taming a set of Roto Toms

Wide open roto toms are a bear to tone down! In small rooms they can be a bit much. The kit I'm using is a rental I send out to "open jams" and these DROPS are PERFECT!

10/10 A+

Perfect for controlling volume / sound ESPECIALLY if recording in a small studio like I do, or are playing live in settings where a ton of volume isn't demanded.

The advertising IS legit. They're easier to use and better sounding than gels, but also don't kill everything the way a full-cover muffler does (especially attack). They've worked for me in different tuning scenarios, and I've used em on snare (metal & wood), rack, and floor toms.

I’m not a drummer, but I record them in my garage

I’m the bassist/sound engineer for my wife’s band. I record all our rehearsals and gigs. Drum sound before Tandem mutes was very good. (I’m a really good soundman.) Taming the resonant decay brings another level of clarity and “studio-like” finesse to the drums. I love the flexibility and cleanliness of the Tandem mutes. No regrets on this purchase

Great product

Novel idea. Easy to apply remove. No more tape to mess with. It's nice to have the multiple sizes to obtain the damping effect you want.
