What's included
Two sets of all four Drops® (8 pcs total), two of each weight: 40g / 60g / 120g / 200g. Great for larger drum kits, as well as keeping an extra set at the studio. Try using the smaller weights (40g / 60g) on rack toms 8"-12". Try the larger weights (120g / 200g) on floor toms 13"-18". For snare drums, all weights provide great options. Tip: try doubling up heavier weights on floor toms, and doubling up lighter weights on the snare.
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)

These are a great addition to my kit. Nothing against moon gels, but they do get gross after a while and you have to replace them. Not to mention they really deaden the natural sound of the drum.
I like these because they not only act as natrual "gate" keeping most of the authentic sound of the drum without killing your tones, but they also look cool too.
I have bigger toms, so perfer the heavier drops, I used the 120g and 200g the most.
If your looking for something less than the total tone deadening of moongel these are a viable alternative . Far more initial tone with gradiated resonance dampening. I like them.
They did exactly what they advertised they’d do. The metallic tone of my micro snare is gone. The tone is pure. The weight functioned exactly as it was designed to.
Average at best
There's a slight buzz on the drum head when the drops are in place. Would be okay for live but not for recording.
