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.

Son Drums

The idea was to give my kid more possibilities for his drum kit. With the T-towels, he can now experiment with sounds that were unattainable with other dampening methods.

I’ve used the pads and towels and they’re fantastic. Really helps in different clubs and venues I’ve played. I highly recommend all of these products to help you tweak your sound to the best it can be.

No better muting product produced!

I am the owner and builder of Rukus drums. Drops are incredible. More of a gate than a muffing device. They preserve the sound and attack of the drum while muting the unnecessary ring. Nothing in the market come close ❤️

Ron's Review

While I do like them, I wish they would come for those of us who have five drums. I still have to use moon gel on one.

Works as advertised

Very happy with the drops I received. 200g went on an 18 inch floor,with pinstripe,and took away just the right amount of overtone ring i I was looking for. Solid construction, great turnaround time from ordering to my door!

T towel and accessory bag

I like it a lot. It’s perfect for dimming the drum. I would like to see the little clip on of the lug be a little deeper into the log.
The accessory bag is super excellent. Thank you guys.

200 mg Drop

I purchased a set of four of all the sizes, and an extra 200 mg drop. The 200 mg drop is truly perfect for dampening a snare drum. They all stay in place when you play and are much easier to use than gels etc. I highly recommend trying them out

Drops set of four

I am really impressed with hoe well they work. Each drop has been designed to have the perfect weight for dampening the drum head. They stay in place and are so much easier to use. I highly recommend getting a set.

T towels

In my opinion the T towels work very well to mute sustain and make a nice dry sound. These are sturdy made and are easy on and off. Musician since 1975.

Just right

I’m impressed how these let my drums have a good attack and the right amount of resonance for articulate, warm sounds.
