Game changing project. Much better than the “gels” from anywhere in this solar system.

Phenomenal.

These are the Lamborghini’s of drum accessories! Used them this weekend and I’ll definitely be using these every single time I play!

Snare drum sounds great.

I only have one on my snare as I like the way the rest of my kit sounds as is.

Really love this product, has an interesting quality to how they function as they don’t sit on the drums and kill the resonance. Been enjoying their noncommittal or messy approach, can add or take away easily and on any drums at a moments notice.

The quality is great, they dampen the drums effectively, and have a clean, minimalist aesthetic.

Goodbye, gels

Gels and adhesives create a sticky mess. They also choke the drum head. Our drums deserve better.

Say goodbye

Hello Drops™

Drops are durable and reusable. They attach to standard tension rods with a molded silicone tab. Use them across your kit to dial in your drum tone.

Shop

Mix & match

Drops come in four different weights – 40g / 60g / 120g / 200g. Use lighter weights to fatten up the drums, and heavier weights for a tighter, dryer tone.

View collection

Easy on/off

Drops grab on to standard tension rods. Press to attach, pull to remove. (Patent pending)

Active gate design

Drops are designed to control overtones while letting the drum's natural tone come through. Rather than adhering to the drum head, they vibrate with it.

FAQs

Can I hear a demo of how Drops actually sound?

Yes. Go to the Drops™ home page and scroll down to the Play Demo section and hit "play" on the video there. You can hear each of the different weights of Drops in action. Headphones recommended.

Which Drops go on which drums?

Drops are meant to mix and match on your kit. Play around with different weights on each drum to get the tone you're looking for. Generally speaking, the heavier Drops provide a tighter, dryer sound, while the lighter Drops provide a fatter sound. Get the tone you want. No rules.

Can I use Drops on my toms?

Yes. Drops sound great on toms. We like using the 200g "wallet" on the floor tom, and the little 40g on the rack tom. Experiment and have fun.

Are Drops compatible with all drums?

No. This iteration of Drops is designed for drums with standard steel hoops, including triple flanged and die-cast hoops. Wood hoops require a modified design for the molded silicone part. Also, vintage Sonor drums with those larger slotted tension rods are not compatible with the current design. We'd like to support wood hoops and vintage tension rods in the future, because they're pretty sweet.
