T-towels
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.

Let customers speak for us
from 724 reviewsVery 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!
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.
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
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.
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.
I’m impressed how these let my drums have a good attack and the right amount of resonance for articulate, warm sounds.
Best way to dry out your drums. gets rid of all overtones. Great way to record your drums in a room with little to no acoustic treatment. Amazing if you just want to get rid of some ring/overtones on your snare.
Get the double pack. It makes it quick especially if you have a big or multiple sets.
So glad to my drops, makes sitting behind any house kit a snap! Thank you!
Good to know
