About
T-towels® turn live drums into 1960s magic, creating that classic muffled tone sought after by drummers and producers everywhere. They lower the pitch slightly, reduce volume a few dB, and smooth out harsh overtones while preserving just the right amount of sustain, and the subtle sonic artifacts that keep the drums feeling alive. The result? Drums that sit clean in the mix, with a warm, punchy tone that leaves space for everything else.
The secret to the T-towels sound is the material. T-suede™ is a proprietary synthetic suede custom-engineered for T-towels. It feels luxurious in your hands and sounds incredible on the kit.
Use them flat or folded. Each T-towel includes a magnetic clasp to keep them clean and consistent when folded.
T-towels 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)

Does the job it is made for. Great quality.
A friend let me try the set he purchased & I was so impressed I had to get some of my own. I've been using white kitchen/tea towels with large hair tie/rubber bands to hold them in place on my toms (folded over for half coverage on snare) which have worked out great & are a cheap solution. T-Towels were head & shoulders better. They lower the pitch slightly & allow a bit more tone to ring out. They also stay in place well when playing. I worry a bit about the rubber/plastic piece that grips the lugs wearing out over time & hope Tandem will replace 'em if needed. These aren't cheap- but so far I'm extremely happy.
So many small venues are acoustic nightmares. Industrial design, hard surfaces, with nothing to deaden the sound. I ordered a full set of the drops and tee towels for my drum kit know I'd be returning to the same venue several time over the next several months. I play a five piece top line Tama kit with beautiful tone. The combination did wonders for toning down the volume of my kit which allowed for the band to align itself behind the drum volume rather than compete with it. The whole setup even recorded well in the live setup.
Happy I would recommend
The next best thing to having Ringo in the room with you!
