Product Description
SlapKlatz makes the most versatile drum dampeners on the market. These little gel drum dampeners let drummers easily control the amount of unwanted ring and overtones from their drums and cymbals, without sacrificing the tone or the playing feel. Quality Material: SlapKlatz gel is developed to be extremely adhesive. This ensures their dampeners will stay on drums no matter they're put. These dampeners even stay on bottom heads or the underside of cymbals! Size and thickness: SlapKlatz spent a huge amount of time and energy in testing various gel sizes and thicknesses, and the result is found in all their packages.
Set Contains:
10 Clear Gels
6 Small
2 Medium
2 Large

I have used these dampeners for a while now, and they work flawlessly. They adhere properly and stay in place. I use the larger ones on my floor toms to take away the excess ring, and the drum doesn't sound like a box but allows for the floor tom's full bottom end that I like. I do not dampen my snare drums. Even though on occasion I've used the smaller ones on my snare drums; I think tuning the snare drum and the shell construction weigh in on snare drum dampening. I like my snares to sing, and yet thinner shells need a little help getting some of the unwanted "ring" out. I also like that they are round. To me, there is more sound control with a round dampener than the rectangular kinds out there. I prefer the Slapklatz PRO Drum dampeners!

The SlapKlatz drum dampeners work well on both my drums and hi-hat cymbals. I need to make some adjustments, but given the results with the set I purchased, I intend to purchase another set so that I can dampen all of my drums.Update: I did order two more packages of the SlapKlatz drum dampeners because I was pleased with the results of the first set I bought. I like that they come with clear plastic to separate the gels, and due to their lack of coloring or dyes, they don't stain the drums or cymbals. They do leave a slight residue on the cymbals, but that is easily cleaned off if the gels are removed or relocated. They also stay attached to the resonant heads; none have fallen off after several months of use.

Love these. Better than moon gels. I love that they come in clear so they don’t stand like other gel dampening products. Comes with a great case to store them. Works great on cymbals too. And again a clear gel looks better on cymbals than the blue moon gels. They come in a pack in all the sizes you need so you don’t have to cut any down to size with a blade or tearing them. And personally, I like that they are round.

I opted for Slapklatz over moon gel because I liked the different size options and the clear color. Here are some of my observations.1. They are very sticky! This is great. They stay where you put them, over and over again. I also like the ability to leave the plastic dividers on the top of them so they do not collect dirt or stick to the cases when touring. I put them on and leave them.2. They seem thicker/heavier so a smaller size is needed to give you proper ring control.3. So far they haven't decomposed/melted the way Moon Gels sometimes do.4. Great size options give you just the right amount of control.5. Super nice case to store them in.I'm a convert to Slapklatz. I highly recommend them.

Replaced my Remo O-Ring dampeners with these and I love the change. I definitely recommend them over any O rings because the drums aren't dampened so much and you can still get a lot more natural frequencies without completely choking off your drums. They are easy to put on and very customizable because there are so many and in different sizes. my cheap drum kit, especially the snare drum, sounds a ton better with these on and I haven't had any problems with slipping or anything. Also, I have some on my resonant heads, they seem to work good on their too and none have fallen off.

These do a great job. I use the tiny ones on my two rack toms, the middle size on the snare and the big one on my floor tom. They muffle and take out the overtones with out taking out much sustain, which I love! Only on my first rack tom does it take out a little bit too much so I just have to live with a little bit more ring.

I am not buying these again. I’ve bought a pack and had to throw some away after about a month of being used because it seems they melt? I thought at first it just got that hot in our drum house but after having proper ventilation in it and know the temperature was alright I put new ones on and only after about 2 weeks they look like this. They leave sticky residue all over the heads are a mess. I would not recommend them and will not be using them again. Only reason I gave two stars is because they do work alright.

Ive used moon gels for their long time and I found these through some forums. These are fantastic products and I recommend them to any drummer. First of all they are clear and don’t stand out on top of any heads. They also don’t leave any kind of residue. They’re thick and substantial and do a fantastic job of focusing the drum sound. I also love that they come in a case and have multiple sizes. Fantastic product. Will definitely buy again in the future. are used when gels for their long time and I found these through some forums. He’s a fantastic products and I recommend them to any drummer.
