1960s magic

Every drummer and producer knows that sound—the iconic tone Ringo got in 1968 using tea towels. We wanted to create a reliable method for achieving that perfect '60s sound on any kit, in the studio or onstage. Introducing T-towels™.

2 sizes fits all

T-towels come in two sizes: 12” for rack toms, and 16” for snare drums and floor toms. No need to match the size of each drum head. T-towels have the whole kit covered.

Goodbye DIY ✂️

For decades we’ve rigged up old t-shirts, bandanas, dish rags—whatever was nearby. But towels are too thick, bandanas are too thin, clips fly off, tape leaves residue. We knew there had to be a better way. So we designed one: T-towels.

Engineered for tone

We tested hundreds of materials, looking for the right tone, stick response, weight, durability, even stain resistance. And when we couldn’t find the perfect textile, we developed our own. T-suede™ is a proprietary synthetic suede, custom-engineered for T-towels. It feels luxurious in your hands, and sounds incredible on the drums.

Easy on/off

T-towels attach to the drums using the same molded silicone grip we designed for Drops—secure, fast, and reliable. Press to attach, pull to remove. (Patent pending)

Clean & consistent

Each T-towel includes a sleek magnetic clasp so you can easily fold them the same way every time. Get the sound you need with no fuss.

Studio to stage

For over 60 years, we’ve chased Ringo’s iconic sound. Now, with T-towels, that legendary tone is finally part of your toolkit.
