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)

Perfect for controlling volume / sound ESPECIALLY if recording in a small studio like I do, or are playing live in settings where a ton of volume isn't demanded.
The advertising IS legit. They're easier to use and better sounding than gels, but also don't kill everything the way a full-cover muffler does (especially attack). They've worked for me in different tuning scenarios, and I've used em on snare (metal & wood), rack, and floor toms.
Solid punchy sound, no more boing
Very convenient and easy to use.
I recently picked up the Drops 120g and 200g from Tandem Drums, and it was a fantastic purchase that totally transformed my snare drum sound. I've been tweaking my setup to get that perfect balance on my floor 16 x 16 tom, and this little guy delivered exactly what I needed without any hassle.
Setup took seconds, and it stayed put during a full practice session.
The result? My snare has way more definition now, blending seamlessly with the low-end thump from my 16" floor tom. It's subtle but effective, and the eco-friendly build (recycled felt and all) is a nice bonus. If you're chasing better drum tones without over-dampening, this is a game-changer. Highly recommend—worth every penny!
These drops performed as advertised. Received positive feedback from Soundman who said the kit sounded great and was able to get a good overall tone of my kit with little effort.
