What's included
Four sets of all four Drops® (16 pcs total), four of each weight: 40g / 60g / 120g / 200g. Great for touring artists, schools, and studios. 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)

Love the towel and drops set! Works perfectly, giving a variety of sounds possible. Can’t believe I waited this long to get them. A must have!
I was expecting more of the "gate" effect when I used these on the toms. But in my opinion they didn't really curb tom sustain all that much. These are just my observations on a studio date. We did an A-B comparison while miked and the engineer told me the difference was negligible. I left them on nonetheless. The impact was more pronounced on the snare drums I was using. I think Drops are a great idea, especially the way they cling to the tension rod and their clean aesthetic. But I'm not convinced they are more effective than any of the usual dampening methods. Very happy to support a local Bay Area business!
Highly recommended
They do what they say they're going to do. They are easy to use. They are classy looking. They look professional, they sound professional, they work professionally.
I love these, brilliant idea, makes a difference that you can hear. They even look cool, I like the way they’re made and how they just attach to the tip of your lug. They sit on top of your drum head and remove that unwanted ring or extended tone.
