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.

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.

Good to know

Technical info

Compatibility

The T-towels mounting system is currently NOT compatible with the following:

  • Wood hoops
  • Vintage oversized (round slotted) tension rods found on some Sonor kits

We hope to support these in the future ✌️

Sound reduction

T-towels provide an average 2.6 dB reduction in volume across the drum kit in studio audio testing.
