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.

Drops

Works well to dissipate sustain, easy on and off.

Great Product

Such a great product. Love the choice of fabric and the sound options you have with either using the entire towel on the drum or folding it to where you would like. Easy to re-create your sound on any kit.

Works great!

I used them on my last gig, I haven’t had the time to really explore all aspects of them as yet. Seem to work great.

Great Product!

These T Towels are great. Simple design that works and best thing is the sound. Just the right amount of dampening that allows the tone of the drum through.

My Second order

This is the second time I've ordered the drops and I did so because I love the product and they were on sale. I bought the 4 set bundle. Your basically getting 1 set for free. WHAT A DEAL!! I jumped right on it. Playing about 40 dates per year sometimes things get misplaced and lost in the shuffle. I wanted to make sure I had extras just in case. I bought 2 carrying cases (each holds 2 sets) because I thought it was cool, it helps to keep them organized and I wanted to support the company. I highly recommend the Drops and the Cases to go with it.

CJM2’s Take On DROPS🥁

I was initially attracted to DROPS because it appeared to a Cleaner Connect & Re- Connect on the Lug Point — And whey actually had’m InHand and could feel the difference in the weight pads on the Drums😳… I was BLOWN AWAY of how I could Still Here Enough Clarity in The Resonanz of my Drums Tunnings!! HIGHLY IMPORTANT to how I Color My Sound

Great Addition to my Kit

Great muffler. Easy to use and stay in place. You can chose how much of the skin you want to cover with a flip if the stick. Have them on snare and all toms.
