I wanted subtle dampening. Nailed it.
I watched all the videos, the YouTube influencers and all. Sounded too good to be true, and it was… it’s just another expensive gimmick that doesn’t deliver on its promise. 2-3 of those on the snare and it still doesn’t sound good. .. Then I threw on a single moon gel and there it was! Utterly useless on Toms . Should’ve read all the other 1-2 star reviews. They pretty much sum it up. I generally don’t like to leave bad reviews, but I’d rather people don’t fall for this.
I was initially attracted to DROPS because it appeared to a Cleaner Connect & Re- Connect on the Lug Point — And whey actually had’m InHand and could feel the difference in the weight pads on the Drums😳… I was BLOWN AWAY of how I could Still Here Enough Clarity in The Resonanz of my Drums Tunnings!! HIGHLY IMPORTANT to how I Color My Sound
They don't dampen the sound as much as I like. But a decent product.
If you’re looking to spend a lot of money only to end up using moongels and tape anyways, Drops are the solution! It works ok on a snare, but highly ineffective on toms. You can hear a buzz/**** noise as the head vibrates against the pad. Save your money. Stick with tape and gel. You’ll end up using anyway and the gel/tape sounds better.
