Drops set of 4
Drops set of 4
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 have a 6 piece kit with 4 toms and a snare. I bought two of the 4 piece sets to have some flexibility with which weights are best on different drums. Settled for now on the 200g on my biggest floor tom, 120 on the next floor tom, and the 60 and the 40 on my two rack toms. The second 200g is on my snare. All of the toms sound great to me with only the Drops on them, but my snare naturally has a LOT of overtones, so I still have a small amount of muffling similar to moon gel on it, along with the 200g Drops weight. The combination really does a great job of giving me the sound I want.
Put them on my drums and the band immediately heard the difference. What a really smart product!
no more gels falling off my snare during recordings or practice. thank you guys for making these I’m probably gonna buy more soon to experiment :D
Dampens the snare perfectly. Takes away the “clang,” but leaves what I consider the perfect sound
Couldn’t be happier!
I have these on a set of Yamaha Rock Tour Customs and a set of DW Performance series . Both sets have Remo clear with black . They take just a little of that ring off but still allow really nice tone.
