About
Drops® are a new way to enhance drum tone without gels or adhesives. Using only gravity, Drops reduce sustain with an active gate effect that lets the drum's natural tone come through upon impact. Use Drops on snares, rack toms and floor toms. Mix and match different weights to get your drum tone just right. Drops attach to any standard tension rod by a molded silicon tab. Just push on the thumbprint to attach, and pull up to remove. Designed by Tandem Drums in California. (Patents pending)

This is the first set of Drops that I've bought (3 pack of 40g), primarily for use on my snare drums. My first reaction was mixed from using a single 40g drop. When I added a second drop to the snare drum, the results were much more impressive. I probably should have bought the next size up but I thought I'd "start small". I'll probably make a follow-up purchase at a later date once I'm comfortable with the results. Product is well-made and shipping was prompt.
They're very well made, but for the price, I was expecting better performance. Even two 60g didn't control the ring on my brass or aluminum snares.
These are very helpful in taking away the dreaded overtone ringing by 90%
Better clarity over-all thx.
I didn't think these were going to work for me as they are quite heavy for their respective sizes. But it turns out that there is some maneuverability to vary the "gating" effect on the drums. They are really convenient and live sound guys love them.
I found it had little effect controlling over tones on my snare drum. I suppose if I would use a head that produced more over tones I may hear a difference.
