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.

I'm complete pleased with my set of Tandem Drum Drops. I was using gel tabs but with a single drop, I can accomplish the same sonic result without using more space on the head (particularly the snare where my brush work is affected).

Drops sounded great on my drums to create a fat snare snap and great Tom sounds.

They do what they say they're going to do. They are easy to use. They are classy looking. They look professional, they sound professional, they work professionally.

Tandem Drops Dead Amazing

I love these, brilliant idea, makes a difference that you can hear. They even look cool, I like the way they’re made and how they just attach to the tip of your lug. They sit on top of your drum head and remove that unwanted ring or extended tone.
