What's included
A set of all four Drops® (4 pcs total), one of each weight: 40g / 60g / 120g / 200g. This is the ideal starting place to provide options across the drum kit. 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)

I bought these because Tandem has done a great job of marketing them and everyone is talking about them. However, I found them no better than my "rings". They also can rattle on the rim.
The 200 gram weight, combined with a ring muffler is very good on the floor tom. The 120 also has application combined with another muffler. The other smaller weights do little for the rack toms tbh.
In a way these remind me of the old snares, like the Rogers, which had an internal damper to control sound. This product is a gift for my son, so I do not have feedback, but I am encouraged.
I am very satisfied with my drum drops. They took only a few minutes to install and rearrange to get the sound I liked. They sound is great. Suoer product.
Great product..well made.
