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)

The T-towel is a fantastic way to get a myriad of sounds out of one snare. Or any drum but I use on my snare. Bunch it up on the edge to kill over tones. Cover a 1/4 of the head to get some thud but still have room for brushes or a snappy rim shot. Or go full Ringo. It’s having 4 or more snares in one!
One hour of playtime, 6” tear at the rim.
These things offer just the right amount of muffling in quieter situations.
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.
