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 needed a dampening system to tone down the ring and sustain without taking it away completely and letting the natural sound of the drum ring out. I could not be any happier with this product. If you are considering this product, don't. I've tried rings, I've tried the gels. There is nothing like this on the market. Engineering genius.
I'm not sure why I waited so long to order the Drops. I guess I was a little skeptical and **** bent on using gels that I've used since they were first introduced. Drops are well manufactured, clean, and drop (no pun intended) the unwanted overtones out of each drum. They lift off the head just enough to give the attack and drop back down to kill the sustain. They're like little individual noise gates on each drum. Simple concept, fantastic results.

Sounds great, I'm still experimenting with them but they sound great.
Definitely an effective way to tone drums down.
